Yea, there was a ton of stuff! My VW Golf was pretty well packed. If there is a way to get the Xenix disk images from you, I would be interested in doing so. I don't seem to have the media and would hate to botch up the current install.

I found some 25pin SCSI cables that have male connectors on both ends. I believe these should work, as they are wired straight through. I will need to cut a pin on the Lisa end though.
