This should be an easy question for one of you Lisa
experts to answer.

I have a Lisa 2/5 with H8 ROM which has the following
I/O card, no. 820-4033-A:

Some time ago I came across a different I/O card, no.
820-4033-A2:

I have heard that this second A2 version of the card,
which lacks the leaky batteries, is the "Mac XL"
version. But, what exactly does this mean? Will it
only support a Widget drive and not a Profile?

The disk controller ROM, second chip in on the upper
left on the A2 version is no. 341-0281-D.

Thanks, all.
