Hopefully not too quickly!

They will sell out quickly.

Thanks to a VERY generous loan from my dad, I just placed an order for 50 fully-assembled boards (as well as 10 completely-untested Twiggy breakouts), and I'm planning on bringing them to VCF Southwest to sell. I'm in talks with two well-known distributers in the vintage computing scene, and any boards that don't sell by the end of the weekend at VCF will go to them to be listed on their web stores. Not sure how quickly 50 boards will sell out, but I'm planning on doing more orders in the future once they're gone. I wanted to get more than 50 to start, but JLCPCB only had 54 FPGAs in stock, so the max I could do without having any leftover bare boards was 50.

And of course, if you don't want to buy one from me or them, you can always order some of your own straight from JLC once I put everything on GitHub!

That would be Apple employee number 8. Wow!

Quote from: coffeemuse on May 04, 2026, 06:49:39 PMPlease disregard the criticisms. For someone who is solely pursuing this as a hobby and a passion for the Lisa, it's an impressive achievement to have successfully created a working Lisa inside an FPGA. I'm quite certain that none of those critics have developed a superior working Apple Lisa-compatible computer, let alone one in less than a year.

That's a fair point. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I see every bit of their criticism as some genuine thing that I need to improve. But I'm trying to ignore that and focus on all of the positive ones.

Speaking of positive comments, someone named Chris Espinosa commented on the video claiming to be the project manager for MacWorks XL and the square pixels mod. I wonder if it's actually him? That would be amazing!!!

Quote from: AlexTheCat123 on May 03, 2026, 12:41:17 PMWow, I uploaded a public YouTube video about this project to my channel last night, and it's gotten about 8,000 views overnight! Most of the reception has been positive (other than a couple guys complaining about the board being ugly and saying that I need to talk to a pro PCB designer and also a few people complaining about my horrible camerawork) and a lot of people have said that they want to buy one. I'm honestly shocked at how much attention it's getting!

This video is undoubtedly fantastic, and it has already garnered over 20,000 views! That's incredible!

I remain in awe of your accomplishment and skills.

Thank you!

May I ask someone to share with me a raw image with the LOS source code?

Received. Thank you, good people!

Spectacular work, Alex! Your knowledge of the platform is incredible. I'm interested in a motherboard. Best regards and congratulations.

Quote from: coffeemuse on May 02, 2026, 09:09:42 AMWith some coordination with a kind owner of a working Lisa, I was able to obtain a raw image with the LOS source code and successfully rebuild LOS from scratch.
