Given the pin out for the Powerbook 5xx series charger, could one be powered by an AC adapter that only has two wires, one live and one ground? My thinking is I could tie the groun…

Generally you have to look around for 6 months or so to find one cheap. The external SCSI Ethernet adapters are probably a better deal if you have more then one compact that needs …

I have been testing all my favourite games on the Plus to make sure they work, however I am having issues with Pax Imperia.  I can start it and choose the star system but can't get…

A SCSI to Ethernet from Asante will work also it's external.

Here's one new in the box but it's pretty expensive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-NEW-DAYNA-DAYNAPORT-E-SE-T-MACINTOSH-SE-10BASE-T-ETHERNET-NETWORK-PRODUCTS-/111540094192?pt=LH_Def…

So I picked up an Macintosh SE FDHD to get software moved between my pc and both my Macintosh SE's. After replaceing some ram that died after 5 minutes of running its doing all nic…

There are 3 main revisions of the Lisa Hardware, the original with the twiggy drives (Lisa 1), the updated version with one Sony drive (Lisa 2) that is otherwise the same as a Lisa…

I need to find photos, if I have any, of my sold Mac XL. I am starting to think it had that spare cable too now. But its been so long.

The sticker on the case says A6S0300P  Thats why I call it a Macintosh XL. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Macintosh I find it complicated these names.....

The 220V-240V, 50Hz, .7A PS would be correct for Lisa's in Europe, it's nothing special.  Later Lisa 2/10 (XL) units with the widget drive used a 1.8A PS that was internally 120V-6…

As I told here before my other Lisa has also the "strange unused power connector". See below. It say on the casing also that it is a A6S0300P There is also the PSU I can't find…

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think I'm going to have a look at it this friday, I'll keep you updated with my findings!

The two 26 pin ribbon cables are for the upper and lower twiggy drives, these cables have both data and power in them.  The other 3 wire plug is for nothing, Apple never used this …

And this is why I love this group. Great info here!

The Apple part number may be different on the label, I don't know if it is or what is should be to indicate a 2/10. The normal differences that I look for to indicate a Lisa 2/10 …

Thank you for this update. So this was a formally Lisa! Nice to know! Could you tell me two things: -Is it normal to find a sticker on such a Lisa that indicates that it is a Mac…

1st of all you don't have a Macintosh XL (AKA a Lisa2/10), you have an original Lisa ( Lisa 1 or converted Lisa 2).  The two 26 pin ribbon cables are for the upper and lower twiggy…

Too bad you "HAD" that 5300, Bibilit. Not only is there problems with the power connection on the 190/5300 but sometimes when the battery leaks, the PSU Area (under the trackpad) i…

You're missing the Widget's power harness. That three pin power cable is for a Twiggy floppy drive and indicates that your Lisa did not start out originally as a Lisa 2/10 or an XL…

A SCSI Zip can be an alternative to floppy discs.

if you can clean up the metal then solder will stick... so you can take some flux and some wick,  and with your iron,  rub what ever surfaces that are eaten up,  and maybe those su…
