[net.micro.mac] Can I plug a Lisa keyboard into my Mac?

...and have it work?  I don't have any Lisas around to take a look at.  I have
seen a really good deal on Lisa keyboards from Dick Smith Electronics of LA.
At 9$ (nine dollars!) it might be a nice spare part to have around.  Does
anyone on the net know if the serial interfaces on the two keyboards 
are compatible?

Sorry. Lisa and Mac keyboards are electrically incompatible.
