Re: How many working Widgets?

    My Lisa 2/10 came as it is (just got it from a previous owner, who got it from a garage sale I think), and the P.O. said that the drive would occasionally work, but it was having trouble. I actually suspect that my Widget is mechanically sound, but one of the controller boards has an issue. It usually will not talk to the Lisa, and its presence isn't announced at all, vs the normal problems which normally give an error every time.
