Rare Apple Haul - Northern CA - Apple Lisa 1, etc.

Could an Apple Lisa actually be restored to a "1" if one had some twiggy drives? I was under the impression there were a few other modifications along with that. Hmm, or better yet (from a technical standpoint) could a drive compatible with a twiggy be created using normal 5.25" parts? (a looooot of differences though)

Either way, that dual 5.25" faceplate looks a lot sexier than the 3.5". :)

Yes, if you have the drives in the aluminum cage, starting with a machine that originally was a 1, which aren't all that rare,
pretty much all of the ones with battery rot. It's not practical to start with a 2 and convert it to a 1 with Twiggys because the
backplane and back panel are different.
