I wonder why LisaMandelbrotPort crashed on him. It's a relatively ordinary QuickPort program, though it does use bitmap graphics a lot more than other Lisa programs do.

I wonder why LisaMandelbrotPort crashed on him. It's a relatively ordinary QuickPort program, though it does use bitmap graphics a lot more than other Lisa programs do.

I think this particular copy is just corrupted. All of his disk images are ones that I sent him, and I know that one of my LOS 3.0 images has a bad copy of LisaMandelbrotPort on it. So I don't think anything's wrong with either his Lisa or the program!

His European 220-240v PSU is labeled 1A. I've never seen that before. Each one that I have reads 1.2 or 1.8A. I learn something new every day around here.

The actual rating on a PSU is how much power it can output. It is the same: 150w, on the European PSU and on it's US equivalent model. The "1A" vs "1.2A" is more of an informative value and is derived from e.g. 150W/120V = 1.25A (they print 1.2A), or 150W/220V = 0.7A, they print 1A.

My Australian 2/5 220/240V supply actually says .7A (!)
