I have a Lisa 2/10. Right now I am looking for a Lisa Mouse (Not a Mac
one which does work on the Lisa), a parallel interface card and a ProFile
external Hard Drive.

***The serialization for the Lisa Office System and its tools IS
removable, if you have a Macintosh. I have the specs to do this.
Basically, you use a sector editor on a copy of the Lisa Tools disk and
remove the serial number that has been placed onto the disk.
