Thanks Ray. I'll look into these.

Thanks. You can use whatever you like. I plan on taking some extra pictures. If there is anything specific you need, let me know.

Hi Santo,
Many thanks for agreeing,
Do you have a hires version of that video without the text overlay (I'm guessing yt will compress it down)? I could use the frames where you insert the FileWare media and later it ejects. The angle is perfect as a Lisa 1 skin, assuming I get LisaEm compatible with LOS 1.x that is.
Your hand holding and inserting the media and taking it away in both the upper and lower drives is perfect and will add realism. And I'll happily use any twiggy motor sounds vs the 400k drive ones.
I'd also need the power light turning on and off, I don't recall if that was in the video or not. (It's not enough to fake that by just lighting the power button square, because the glow of the powerlight illuminates the bottom of the Lisa when it's on.)

Congrats on the Lisa 1 restore! I hope I can be lucky enough to one day get a Lisa 1; I think it looks better than the 2 and it's just such a unique machine with those dual Twiggies.

At least, this is what happens on my Lisa 1. The ejection mechanism is also activated when I shut the Lisa back down.

Notably, the "grunt" does not occur with Rev. C CPU board ROMs - either during startup or at shutdown. It does occur with Rev. D CPU board ROMs, however.
I/O board ROMs are 40 in both cases.
Also, Rev. C CPU board ROMs do not display the ROM versions at the top of the screen while booting. It remains an empty space.
