Hey, I just picked up a Apple Lisa 2 off a local craigslisting for
$100. I am not sure if that is a good deal or not, but I have never
used or seen a Lisa before and thought it would be neat. I do have a
few vintage macs (Macintosh Classic, LCIII, Powerbook 1400cs). It was
listed as turning on but not booting. I have done an inventory and
here is what I have.
Hardware:
-- Apple Lisa 2
---- model: A6S0200
---- options: A6S0204
---- 3.5" Floppy Drive
---- Lisa Widget internal Hard Drive
-- Apple Lisa Keyboard
- Turbo Mouse (Trackball) from Kensington Microware Ltd.
- External Profile Harddrive
- Internal Parallel Card
Software / Manuals:
-- Lisa Workshop User's Guide - manual
- Lisa Systems Software - manual
- Lisa Language - manual
- May 1985 Software Supplement - manual
- Concepts Computerized Atlas - Manual and original Floppy Disk
- Apple Developer's Handbook - manual
- Lisa Pascal Workshop 3.0 original floppies
- MacWorks Plus v1.1 manual and original floppies
- Lisa Fact Book
- Some really large floppy disks (not for this Lisa)
- Some misc stuff.
Now, the problems.
- The screen is really shaky, like an analog TV tuned into the wrong
channel. It occasionally stabilizes, but is on the verge of shaking
again. Is there any way to adjust it?
- The keyboard appears to be a bit flaky. Not sure if the connector
is just dirty?
- After it boots, it ends up on a screen saying that the Current date/
time is: Invalid and wants a new date. How do you put in 2007, it
only takes a 2 digit year and won't take a 0 as the first number.
Well, this is just my five minute update. I really just had time to
go though the box of stuff ;)
