Wonderful computers. I've been working on restoring one, myself. Need a
new cable for the internal HD (Or at least a new connector to plug into the
HD port)

Mine is a conglomeration of Mac XL (the newer model that wasn't compatible
with Lisa OS) and Lisa parts. I believe the Lisa IO board is toasted, so
that came from the XL (Which was functional but physically trashed)

Incidentally, please let me know if you find a way to make a bootable backup
of Lisa OS or Macworks. :) (Not that I'll be backing Macworks up until I fix
the internal drive cable)

> AT&T UnixPC and hd drive and software

These are great. I picked up one of these from a university I used to
attend. It was about to get trashed, and somebody I knew at the time picked
it up along with the seven or so others that were going out of style.
Software and everything. I managed to get the SVR3.0 development kit
working with the R3.5 OS that I've got. It's pretty functional at this
point.

Since then, I've located a brand new one at a local computer store (really),
and acquired that for my SO. We've even still got the original box. :)

She has since gotten some original manuals.

I also have a friend who picked one up a the scrap yard for near nothing.
...had a sign taped to it that says "will not play games, good for
programmers."

I think they were serious.
