    Very interesting video :-) In 1999 me and my father bought an 512k Mac, and I had to create a screwdriver to open it and repair the floppy drive. I knew about the Macintosh XL, as it was referenced in a book about game programming (Trick of the ...). Thank you for your videos :-)

    Whoa! I had no idea a Lisa could run Mac system software. That hard drive looked like the old "MFM"/"RLL" style connectors - or at least, so I used to hear them referred to many years ago. One data and one control cable, and the parameters of the drive needed to be stored in the BIOS (no auto-detect). Totally an importation from the PC world, I think. I imagine there's more hope to getting SCSI working in that old thing than finding an old drive for it, though?

      The XL was a modified Lisa 2/10, and was used for a lot of development (bc it had the extra RAM, up to 8 MB). the XL usually had rectangular pixels like the Lisa, but could be changed to have square pixels like the Macintosh.

    Jason,when will you demonstrate the Lisa Office System.

    • @themacintoshmuseum
      @themacintoshmuseum  9 років тому

      jake harvey As soon as I obtain a working MFM hard disk, I will be able to install the Lisa Office System. For some reason, you cannot use the LOS without a working Apple ProFile disk (or an emulated one).
      I have also considered purchasing the CompactFlash ProFile emulator board, but it is very expensive - and I would prefer to use a real hard disk when demonstrating a system like this!

    • @themacintoshmuseum
      @themacintoshmuseum  9 років тому

      gmod112 1 I believe so, and I believe that it was only used in the original Lisa series 1 machines. I also believe that later versions of the Lisa Office System could not be used with the original ROM, nor could MacWorks be used.

    I very much want to get a Lisa, mod to fix the rectangular pixels, and run OS 6/7 Macintosh software on that larger screen... I wonder how much I'll be paying. Are you selling?

      @FairPlay137 6 років тому +1

      gencreeper No, the Lisa didn't have a startup chime. I don't think it was needed for a product like this at the time, as it would beep when it prompted you to boot from the disk or tell you something's failing the self-test.

    The name is lisa because it stands for locally integrated software architecture and any relation to anything other than that is purely coincidental 🤣

      I think naming it after Jobs kid makes more sense.

      ​@@scottross5495nope, it was just an acronym. And that wasn't the name of his child, because she wasn't his child. 28% of the male population in the country could have been her father according to DNA paternity tests. And besides, there are plenty of other people who worked at Apple back then who had daughters named Lisa. So you see it was just one big coincidence. He said so himself.

    SCSI2SD and all your hard disk woes are solved.

    • @willpreston6881
      @willpreston6881 6 років тому

      The Lisa series used a proprietary type of hard disk for which documentation is sparse/nonexistant. You would need to adapt that to work with a SCSI bus of some kind before you could use SCSI2SD.
      Also, IIRC, the Lisa 2 was only ever sold with a 10MB hard drive. No other sizes.
