Hi,

Just an update on my Lisa 2, i.e. the first machine I posted about.  This is 
the one I thought had the drive issue, but in fact simply needed a DD disk 
in the slot rather than my HD one.

Anyway, today I managed to make two Macwork disks from Lisa images on the 
web.  My web machine is a PC so it involved using software called Transmac 
and a Mac Classic 2 with a 800k drive attached which I could use to write 
the 400K images.

Anyway, the good news is the Lisa booted just fine!  However, the bad news 
is (as I suspected) all THREE of my Lisa keyboards are non-functional. 
Well, not quite.  One has the '4' key working on the keypad, the other has 
the '/' key working.  But that's it.

I know there is a bit of info on the Web as to how these might be repaired 
so it's off to have a look!....

After Xmas, I'll tackle to Lisa 2/10 again.

Terry
