        Mine has the 'PTA Prototype' markings on the inside of the
front cover as well. From talking with other's it would appear that
those markings aren't uncommon. The thing I always found interesting
was that even though earlier Lisa 2 and 2/5's weren't intended to use
the internal Widget hard disk due to the lack of internal connector
for it, the faceplate still has the drive access light window for it.
