FS: Apple Lisa 2



I have a Lisa 2 forsale which has NOT been converted into a Mac XL (most
were). My understanding is that it is extremely difficult to convert a Mac
XL back into a Lisa because you need to find the old ROMs (I have no idea
where from) and you have to convert the screen's height to width ratio back
to the original Lisa's. My Lisa includes 2 hard drives. One with Lisa
software on it (Lisa Pascal, Editor, Debugger, Mac<->Lisa Floppy/Hardrive
converter, Macintosh Resource Compiler etc, and  command line shell) and one
with old Macintosh software on it (very early system software). This system
was probably used in the early days of the Macintosh to develop software for
Macs - since you needed a Lisa in the beginning to do this. It also includes
a working keyboard / mouse and a card which allows both hard drives to be
used at the same time. There is only one hard drive cable though, but this
is not a big deal since it uses a standard parallel cable between the Lisa
and hard drives - so a standard parallel cable with male connectors at both
ends will work. There are no manuals or floppy disks with this system - all
software is on the hard drives.

The last Mac XL on ebay sold for $202.50 and it didn't have a hard drive -
so I'm asking $300 USD + shipping (from Canada) for my non XL with 2 hard
drives. As of this writing, the system works and is in excellent condition -
but I am selling it "as is". If you are interested - please let me know!
