Congrats.
I have my own Lisa problems that you might be able to shed some light
on. It seems you've spend more time with the machine than I:
I have what I beleive to be a Mac XL. It might be a Lisa II, but I'm
not sure what the differences are. The system works well enough to
power on and boot into MacWorks - but the mouse doesn't register button
clicks (the mouse is good, and tested with an older Mac). The mouse I
have has a more 'square' mouse button as opposed to the long, thin
'rectanguar' mouse button sometimes seen with these machines: The mouse
is marked:
M0100
*G442MO10006348*
Also, the mouse connector on the motherboard doesn't mate well with the
mouse I have. There are no 'receptacles' to catch the thumbscrews on
the mouse, and there ins't the ususal metal 'band' around the D-Sub
connector on the motherboard. It's either not supposed to be there, or
it acts as a ground and is missing. I suspect this why the mouse
doesn't register button clicks but I'm not sure.
I'll relace the connector with a new one, but only if I'm sure this is
the problem.
