So a while back I managed to get a Lisa 2/5 which wasn't in working order at the time as it suffered corrosion damage to the motherboard and the I/O board. Two days ago I cleaned it and managed to get it working (sort of). It has a few issues: 1) 400K floppy drive always reads and then shows...

Hello, I am just wondering if anyone has 400k disk images for MacWorks plus, the original MacWorks, Lisa Guide and Lisa test. I have tried the MacMorhership but I cannot get the images on there to work, unfortunately. (Must be doing something wrong) I have got the Lisa workshop to work so I...

Hello, Can anyone explain to me how the diskette latching mechanism works in a standard 8050 model. This is the model whereby you have to seat the diskette first then press firmly down until you hear a click. For anyone who needs to know the specific model it has been identified as a micropolis...
