Hi David,

Thanks for sharing these. I really enjoyed the whole series, especially "Building the LisaMini: 3D Printing an Apple Lisa Reproduction with Mike Wottle."

I have to admit it was a thrill to spot my LisaFPGA case in that one! Around timestamp 9:50, you mentioned you didn't remember where you'd found it, so I thought I'd fill in the blank. From what I could see, it's definitely my design. Here's where the files live:


Thanks for the kudos. I think it was the first case for the LisaFPGA that was made public. It's definitely not as nice as Mike's design, but it was constrained by my CAD skills and the size of my 3D printer.

I'm happy to see it getting used.

Thanks again for all you do to document Lisa history!

Hey, thank you for making it! I was able to show off the LisaFPGA at the VCFSE in Atlanta with it. I want to keep it that way and use the LisaMini with the LisaEm and Pi. I'm working on part II with Mike Wottle now, where he talks about that one. Thank you also for your kind words.
