A prototype of Lisa 2, if you have a good budget

Spotted on eBay, something probably overpriced: a prototype of Lisa 2. The asking price is $42,000 (plus $3,900 for shipping…).

The machine is quite rare, to be fair. It’s a Lisa 2 (meaning it has a 3.5-inch floppy drive, whereas the first model had a 5.25-inch drive) that powers on. However, it doesn’t boot from the floppy drive. It’s an unmarked prototype, restored (including the keyboard foam) and comes with an external ProFile hard drive, which is also quite rare.

The keyboard foam, made of Mylar (I think)


A handmade mouse?
