        Well after working on it off and on for over two years I
finally got my Lisa to actually boot up tonight. I've been trying to
put it back to Lisa2 specs vice Mac XL and I had swapped a 400k
floppy back into it in place of the 800k upgrade that had been
peformed. Unfortunately the machine would never power on properly
without the XL screenkit installed. Finally tonight I said the heck
with it and reinstalled all the parts to the XL screenkit and powered
it on, attempting to boot from Macworks XL 3.0 and the Macworks
System Disk (Mac Finder 4.1). It worked! Both disks were 400k disks
and made from images gotten off of the web. I'm tempted to put the
SCSI card/drive back into it and see what I can do with it, though
it'd be nice to still figure out what's going on with the
original-style CPU card and video system and get it working as a Lisa
again.
