Pretty wild find in an old stash of Lisa stuff

[ebaybrad1]

I have a pile of Lisa stuff, mostly manuals, disks etc... No Lisa. Upon opening some of the
Unmarked binders, I discovered many are marked confidential. Another rabbit hole
To go down, which I really enjoy. Seems related or owned by P Baker of
The original Lisa team. More to come if anyone interested.

Definitely interested, although the schematics in particular are somewhat familiar. Still, I think revision D of the I/O board may be an earlier version, and the only I/O board schematics on Bitsavers are for a later revision.

What else is in your binders?

Congrats on your find! I would love to come across originals like these.

Where are you located? I'm really surprised to see personal things of Paul turning up
I just saw him at the Lisa event at CHM and he is still at Apple.
I have some other blueprints that were located recently that included the
older I/O board.
I need to run them through the blueprint scanner at CHM.
If you are in the bay area, I can scan them for you
If it isn't all just Lisa stuff, the schematic for the digital board in the Macintosh Twiggy needs to be found.

Hey. We've spoken before... Of course, if you need them scanned, I will
Do that for you. I am going to go though everything in the next few days.

If you want, pm me your email and I'll send some shots as I go through it
To see if there are other things u want to archive..

I am in NY metro

These are the schematics so far...

I went through and scanned a bunch of the blueprints I came across recently.
Up now under http://bitsavers.org/pdf/apple/lisa/hardware The most important
finds were the Lisa 2 I/O and motherboard schematics.

It doesn't look like that particular rev of I/O board drawings have been scanned yet.

Pascal

 

[stepleton]

That one we've got. I know because I'm proud of having imaged it from a shrink-wrapped box I bought on eBay

Do you see any other versions? How about other Twiggy disks?

 

[ebaybrad1]

Yes, there is more. I will photo manana.ots of binders also

 

[ebaybrad1]

More twiggy disks

 

[stepleton]

We have most of those here; LisaList is missing from there, oddly enough.

What's the condition of the media? Unfortunately most Apple-branded Twiggy disks have a bad habit of degrading.

PS: sorry for writing so little --- I'm really glad you're sharing all of this stuff with us!
I have an image of my own copy of LisaList, although it will be serialised to my own Lisa. (That's easily reversed.) I'd be happy to share if anyone needs it.

The disk itself is in excellent shape. Unfortunately, I don't have a Lisa 1 to test it on. I am going to finish going through it and will, of course, see what I can do to make sure I scan or help get whatever is not available once I do to be imaged

If anyone is lucky enough to have one...or a Lisa 2 as well, I would be happy to meet with them (NY metro area)
