Seen one, yes... Way back when in a prior life, and did more than my
share of the 1 -> II conversions... I still have a 'Twiggy' diskette or
two in the collection.
As to the other question... unless they stumbled into one somewhere along
the way, I recall from our discussions with members of the production
company (yes, there is another story there) that they indicated that they
had (or had access to) a LISA II, and a spare front bezel or two that they
were prepared to 'modify' as needed...
I taped the program, and have not had time to watch it yet so I can't
venture a guess as to if the 'LISA I' shown is real, "...or is it
Memorex?"
