Thankfully I took the battery pack out of mine before it
messed up the board. If you're having mouse problems though and you
know it's making good contact on the connector and that the mouse is
good, I'd carefully check the traces on the mainboard coming in from
the mouse port. The mouseport is close enough to the batteries that
the acid could've eaten away enough at one or more of the traces so
that the mouse wouldn't function correctly.
I replaced the SCSI hard disk on the SCSI card in the Lisa
with an Apple-ROM Quantum 80MB drive and transferred the stuff from
the external System 6 drive onto the new internal drive. It works
great now, booting System 6 from the Quantum internal.
Unfortunately, I only got one of the two partitions transferred over
from the external disk before it crapped out, so I only got a few of
the apps moved over. Oh well...it was an ancient ST-225N that just
sat for a number of years on my shelf. I was able to reinitialize it
using FWB HDtoolbox on my Powerbook.
