Re: Apple Lisa, help.

Hi! From what I can tell, it would be sort of hard to unconvert a
Sun-hacked XL back into a Lisa 2, unless you have some physical parts...
However, I do happen to have rom images of the I/O rom version A8 and the
Boot ROM version H. It could be possible to burn and switch them, I
suppose, but I think there are physical mods to the video board to force
it from standard lisa 2/3 aspect ratio pixels to more mac-like square
pixels and such which a simple rom swap wouldn't fix. I think the Sun I/O
rom was for more mundane stuff like booting from a SCSI drive and having a
800k floppy drive.
Actually, you know what, just email me at lisaworks@emulation.net and we
can talk more. Oh, and visit http://emulation.net/lisaworks if you want to
as well.
I'm just a wellspring of information, aren't I, eh? :P
