I think I will leave the Lisa collecting to the purists because if I had one I would hotrod the hell out of it. There is nothing wrong with a "hotrod" Lisa. I have 3 "SuperLisa's" and there is continued new Lisa hardware development. The Lisa is an open-architecture system that was designed to be enhanced (like the Apple 2 line), adding to the system does not make it any less a Lisa.

If you want more power in a Lisa you would like my MISA or LACINTOSH.

My widget drive is still working after all these years. But a little gereatric....
I have to be carefull that the power plug is at the right plcae. To check I have a multimeter to check if I get a nice 12V on one of the pins.
The disk likes to be warm when I start it. So I leave it close to central heating for an afternoon. Then I also need to help it get spinning a little bit.
But when it is on...it works!

Mine is the same way - it needs a little push to get the platter spinning if it's been sitting for a while, but will then LOUDLY spin up. It gets quieter after a while, and still seems to work OK.
Fingers crossed... I don't really want to spend the money on the modern alternatives, but I probably should.

I would like to know if these disks can be “repaired”. Is it possible to grease it or replace parts to get it running better?
