Kato Lisa Hardware

What the Hell is this? · What this was This was a document called "'nte Lisa Theory of Operations Manual" from Apple Computer, Inc dated June 3, 1983. It consisted of photocopied pages (some a little fuzzy) describing the hardware of the Lisa 1 and was written using the editor of the Lisa Pascal Workshop. The drawings were hand-drawn and still had editing marks on them. There were no schematics, although they were referenced in the manual. At the time I got this, Apple was also sending a document called "Macintosh XL Hardware Information" which had additions/corrections for the Manual although it didn't include the major hardware differences between the Lisa 1 and Lisa 2. , What this is I didn't really like the state that the Manual was in. First off, it described only the Lisa 1. Secondly, the schematics were missing. Thirdly, the copy was poor and wouldn't copy any better if I wanted to send this to another of my fell ow Lisaphiles. Fourthly, some of the drawings would cause severe eye strain if you really needed to look at them. Fifthly, since the editor used to write the original used strictly ascii characters, some of the notation is a bit strange. . So I began the project of entering the Manual into Macwrite. This set of documents is the original manual with the original wording, right or wrong. I have added my own corrections and comments surrounded by square brackets for use in making the final version. I have corrected misspellings. By the way, I have NOT incorporated the changes/additions specified in the XL Corrections paper. I figure I'll get this Manual up to Lisa 2 standards, then put them in. I am also replacing the clumsy hand-drawn diagrams with my own clumsy Macpaint pictures. I may not win any art awards with them, but I think they're an improvement I have also replaced the notation of an active low signal from SIGN ALJ to SIGNAL with a modified Geneva-12 font which is included on this disk. I have also modified my Geneva to have the 0 with a slash through it so you can tell it from an 0 more easily. · What this will be Eventually, this Manual will describe not only the Lisa 1, but the Lisa 2 series of computers also: Lisa 2, 215, 2/10, and Mac XL. I hope to have or make schematics of these versions too. The Glossary, Table of Contents, and Index will be more fully worked out when the Manual has been completed. · 6:01:41 AM 10112185 Gary M.
