Hello Adam!

I think, macmoni has given you the wrong answer. look at the attached pictures showing my own SUN 20 controller with a Kalok Oktagon model 320 (20MB).
Is this the same controller and hard disk found in your Lisa?

If your answer is yes, then I can help you further.

greetings,

Helmut Post
