Reconstructing an auctioned Lisa

[berskyboy]

Hi,

I got my ESProfile from Juicy Crumb and put the following files on an SD Card called

/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugin_FFFEFC_selector_rescue.py
/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugin_FFFEFD_system_info.py
/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugin_FFFEFE_filesystem_ops.py
/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugin_FFFEFF_key_value_store.py
/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugins.py
/Users/berskyboy/Documents/Vintage Folder/Apple Lisa/Lisa Pi3 Folder/selector.image

and it boots up and recognizes the parallel port but gives a garbled screen when I boot from parallel port

I'm wondering if I've setup the SD Card improperly?, the Lisa is looking for the modded MacWorks XL? Or maybe another issue?

I also tried this in the Manual from
https://github.com/stepleton/cameo/blob/master/aphid/selector/MANUAL.md

Type in the following two lines to enter a short program into the Lisa's memory:

2900 223C 00FF FEFC 227C 00FE 0090 50C2 50C3↵
2910 50C4 4ED1↵
where ↵ means to press the Return or ↵ key. You must include all of the spaces shown. Note that the 2 at the start of each line will not appear on the screen: it selects the "SET MEMORY" function from the "SERVICE MODE" menu.

It seems that you have the square-pixel "3A" rom, which cannot properly display the Selector screen (and LOS), so you are limited to running MacWorks XL and perhaps some unix-es.

The Selector eventually will work. We've been waiting for @stepleton to find some free time to "lick that cookie": https://lisalist2.com/index.php?topic=886.msg6973#msg6973

Or you can procure and install "H" ROMs and its corresponding video ROM.

Try renaming one of Macworks files to profile.image.

Ok how do I go about doing

install "H" ROMs and its corresponding video ROM.

What do I look for to buy?  Also will the ESProfile load MacXL?

Go here:

Grab a MacWorks image and copy it to your SD card.

Rename the existing profile.image on the sd card to something else.

Change the name of your new MacWorks image to profile.image (no caps).

Boot.

Worked for me.

YES that works!!!

BUT... how can I get the LOS 3 on it?  Or is that a way more complicated process?

TorZidan has your answer for LOS's.

Then Stepleton's Selector will work too and you can choose just about anything.

ah you mean this will eventually solve it?

Yes I can wait for that.  It would be nice to have a way to run both!

No, the Selector update alone won't solve anything for LOS. LOS explicitly requires the H ROMs, so you'll have to install them if you ever want to run it. I'm not sure if anyone sells ROMs anymore now that VintageMicros is in the process of moving under new management.
