Lisa questions....



Hello out there,

I've just become the proud owner of a Lisa 2/10 (with a working Widget
drive :-). The machine is in a not quite perfect condition and therefore I
would like to ask some questions to the people frequenting this group and
possibly having had similar problems!
The most serious problem I think is related to the screen. It is more or
less constantly flickering respectively shifting like a ship in a high
swell, just faster.... Is it possible that this is due only to some bad
contact at the connector between the p/s-video unit and the screen, or is
it more likely to be related to HV problems?
When I got the machine it had MacWorks preloaded, but wouldn't boot to the
desktop. After displaying the MacWorks message it stopped with a SadMac
0F00064, which, if I remember correctly indicates a missing system file.
How would I have to go ahead to get the system file over to the widget?  
I installed Lisa 7/7 now and was wondering about the following:
How does one access a MacWorks partition on the  HD
from Lisa 7/7 - is it possible at all?
What is known about all those accelerators and other extras sold (at a
price!) from DAFAX - are they any good/useful?
What will I have to do in order to hook up an Apple Imagewriter II (I
think it has one of those MiniDin like connectors) will any old Apple II
lead be fine?
What are recommended addons for the three (empty :-() slots?
What kind of monitor can be attached to the video port - will (again) any
old Apple II monitor do?
I've got 2MB in the machine - can one have more? Will one ever need more?
I read about SCSI cards for the Lisa - does anyone have knowledge about
where to get them (DAFAX doesn't have them anymore) and how much they'd
cost. Related to that - what software is needed to let Lisa know about a
SCSI HD? How big can it be anyway?
Finally - what software is available, what is recommended, what is a must
have?

Anyone willing to answer (some of) these questions please email to:

Big thanks to all of you trying to help out!

Cheers
