The Lisa is NOT (not even close too, in fact) an Apple III (///). An Apple /// is a 6502 based system (actually dual 6502's) that provides for (48K) Apple II emulation mode (there is a board from Sun that provides for 128K //e emulation on a ///). Lisa was a precursor of the Macintosh. It is a 68000 based system that, before it was continued was renamed the Mac something or other. I believe it possible to run a Mac operating system on a Lisa and there IS Macware that emulates a II (won't run copy protected software). Whether "II in a Mac" (I think there's another as well) will run on a Lisa emulating a Mac, I do not know. Wouldn't it be easier just to buy a Laser 128 (not from Sears though)? --------------------- Disclaimer: I like my opinions better than my employers anyway...

Gotta keep tabs on things like that, as Sun Microsystem, Inc, is very big out here in Oregon, and they have no plans as far as I know to make anything for the apple series. :-) >Lisa was a precursor of the Macintosh.
