I just thought about something after posting the last message a few
minutes ago... Probably the reason for the mix-up here and why my
Apple Lisa 2 seems to be so different from a Macintosh XL is because
there are really two Apple Lisa 2 models that shipped: 2/5 and 2/10.
Mine is a 2/5. Everyone else here is thinking about the 2/10.

The 2/10 is actually the same as a Macintosh XL, so Matthew is correct
is he's referring specifically to the 2/10. Both the 2/10 model and
the Macintosh XL have a 1.8 amp power supply (mine has a 1.2 amp PS).
And, the 2/10 and the Mac XL have a 10GB widget hard disk drive (mine
has a 5MB Profile externally).

That should settle the dust! :)
