The Legacy of the Lisa: An Outsider’s View Chapter XXX Good Things to Know About Lisa X.1 X.2 X.3 INTRODUCTION GOOD THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT LISA - TABLE OF CONTENTS GOOD THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT LISA - APPLE DOCUMENTS NOTE THIS IS A PRELIMINARY CHAPTER FROM MY LISA LEGACY PAPER REVISION. THIS CHAPTER MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE WHEN I COMPLETE THIS PAPER. Author David T. Craig 71533.606@compuserve.
X.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter contains Lisa information from the Apple Technical Information Library as of 24 September 1995. This information may be found in Apple’s CompuServe forum (GO APLTIL). I searched using the keyword “Lisa”. 240 documents were found, but around 20 of these only mentioned the Lisa in passing and as such these extraneous documents are not present in this chapter.

it passes through. So, for example, a monitor requiring 120v-60Hz current could not be used in a 220v-50Hz environment even if the computer from which it gets its power is able to accept the local current. The AC output of a Macintosh II is as follows: the monitor receptacle is rated for 3 amps steady state, 40 amps peak power. The power supply is fused for 6 amps to include the Macintosh II and monitor. The amperage on the back of the computer is what should be used to calculate load on a circuit.

15 Imagewriter: Configuring for a Lisa Article Created: 26 September 1985 Article Reviewed/Updated: 17 October 1994 TOPIC ----------------------------------------------------------The following information shows how to configure a Lisa and an ImageWriter printer.
16 Installing LisaGuide as a Shell If you wish, you may install LisaGuide as a shell so that you can access it from the hard disk instead of having to boot it from a diskette.
17 International Versions of Lisa Software International versions (beginning with release 2.0) of the Lisa Office System differed from the U.S. versions only in the language used in the alert boxes, menus, etc. One version of the Workshop was available worldwide. For example, France did not have a "French" vesion of the Workshop -- available to France was the same English version distributed to all countries.
18 Lisa 1/2-MB System: Error 815/315 while installing OS 3.0 Error 815/315 indicates your system is out of memory. This error appears when you initialize your hard disk before installing Lisa Office System Release 3.0 software on a 1/2 meg system. You will need to obtain a 512K Add-On Memory Board before you can successfully install the software; alternatively, you could obtain Lisa Office System Release 3.1, which allows you to install the Office System using 1/2 megabyte.
19 Lisa 2/10 10MB Hard Disk: Specifications These are the specifications for the 10-megabyte hard disk in the Lisa 2/10: Access time RPM Latency Data transfer rate 50 msec 3100 +/- 1% 9 msec 5 MHz Copyright 1984, 1992, Apple Computer, Inc.
20 Lisa 2: Copying Office System Diskettes The easiest way to backup your Office System diskettes is to use Office System 3.1. Release 3.1 allows you to duplicate a diskette to another diskette; it even prompts you when to insert your destination diskette. Office System 3.0 is unable to copy an Office System 1 diskette. If you don't have access to a Lisa with Office System 3.1, but do have a version of the Workshop which is the same version of the Office System diskettes you're copying: 1.
21 Lisa 2: Failing To Respond On Large AppleTalk Networks This article last reviewed: 9 November 1988 A number of Lisa 2s--not 2/10s--were produced with pull-up and pull-down resistors on the input line of the serial port that AppleTalk uses. These resistors can create a problem for Lisas that are part of large AppleTalk networks, such as one 1800' long and containing 32 nodes. In such complex networks, these Lisas can fail to "hear" messages addressed to them and consquently can fail to respond.
22 Lisa 2: Possible Problems With The Upgrade Kit This article last reviewed: 9 November 1988 1. Symptom: Operating system error 10726, or error 82. Problem: Bad motherboard-ProFile interaction. Solutions: A. Replace the motherboard with an upgraded one. (Upgraded motherboards are distinguished by resistor packs around the parallel port.) Also make sure that the system has an I/O board with the resistors clipped and the proper boot ROMs installed. B. Use a different ProFile. 2.

23 Lisa 3.0: Printing in 10 pitch on a Daisy Wheel Printer A problem with the Lisa Office System 3.0 software prevents 10-pitch fonts from actually printing 10 characters per inch on a DWP; instead, these fonts prin 9 per inch. This problem was fixed in Release 3.1.
24 Lisa 3.0: Using it with a 10 Megabyte ProFile Lisa 7/7 (Version 3.0) incorrectly makes a 10 megabyte ProFile look like a 5 megabyte ProFile when it's used with Macintosh software. This problem is fixed in Version 3.1.
25 Lisa 7/7 (version 3.0): "UNABLE TO PRINT" message When your Lisa informs you it's having difficulties printing your document, check everything suggested by both the dialog message and the manual, and then try the following. 1. Open Preferences and click on Connect devices. Select each of the connections (e.g., Serial A Connector), and set each to Nothing. 2. Re-select each of the connecions in Connect Devices, and select what you physically have connected to the Lisa at that connection. 3.
26 Lisa 7/7 and MacWorks: A 5-MB ProFile Can Be Inadequate for Both The first time an application is opened during a session, Lisa sets up a process for both that application and all documents created by that application. The first time you print from an application, another process is opened. Because each process uses 200 blocks, using all seven applications requires 1,400 blocks of disk space. Printing requires up to another 1,400 blocks.
27 Lisa 7/7 Software: System Reboots During Office System Install If, at any time during the installation of the Lisa Office system software, the system reboots, be sure the diskettes are not write protected. The colored tab must show through to the front of the micro diskette. Copyright 1984 Apple Computer, Inc.
28 Lisa 7/7 Software: Unable to Use a Tool That Has a Password Even though your Lisa Office System manual states (page 257) that you can protect your tools (applications) with passwords -- don't do it! If you protect a tool that hasn't been used since you powered up, when you attempt to use it, you will get a message that the tool is damaged or is having technical difficulties. You must remove the password before proceeding.
29 Lisa 7/7: "Technical Difficulty" messages If your Lisa frequently hangs, of if it often tells you it's having "Technical Difficulty", try reinstalling the software again. If the problem persists, check to see that you are using one of these acceptable versions of the CPU and I/O ROMs: Lisa: 2.
30 Lisa 7/7: Compatibility with other released products Released products compatible with Lisa 7/7: Software: By: Lisa Workshop Brock Keystroke Relational Database BPI Accounting General Ledger Accounts Receivable Accounts Payable Payroll Desktop Calendar BASIC Apple Computer *OS 3.0, 3.1 Brock SW Products OS 3.0, 3.1 BPI Systems Videx Pterodactyl SW Compatible with: *WS 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 OS 3.0, 3.1 WS 3.0,3.
31 Lisa 7/7: Form feeds during printing If the Lisa 7/7 document you wish to print is less than 1/2" from the top of the page, the Lisa will send a form feed to the printer and begin printing the document on the next page of paper. This feature replaces the dialog box in version 2.0 stating that "the paper is about to be rolled back, lift the bail...". We made this change so that Lisa 7/7 software would be able to support queued printing, which should be able to run unattended.
32 Lisa 7/7: Hardware Failures and Software Installation Various error numbers usually associated with hardware failures have appeared on Lisas with the 7/7 Office System. Typically, the user hasn't selected Erase when installing the 7/7 Office System. After you safely backup your documents, reinstall the software to erase the hard disk before using the system.
33 Lisa 7/7: Installing OS 3.1 & Pascal Workshop 3.0 on Hard Disk To install Lisa 7/7 Office System 3.1 or 3.0 and Pascal Workshop 3.0 on a hard disk: 1. Backup any Office System or Macintosh documents from the hard disk. 2. Install the 7/7 Office System (release 3.0 or 3.1) as detailed in Chapter 6 of the Lisa Office System manual. a. Select Erase when prompted. b. Select Share if you wish to store Macintosh software on the hard disk 3.
34 Lisa 7/7: Installing OS 3.1 and Macintosh software on hard disk To install ONLY Office System 3.1 to share or not share the hard disk with Macintosh software: 1. Backup any Office System or Macintosh documents from the hard disk. 2. Follow the procedures in Chapter 6 or the Lisa Office System manual to install the Lisa 7/7 Office System 3.1. a. When prompted to Erase or Don't Erase, select Erase. b. When prompted to Share or Don't Share: 1.
35 Lisa 7/7: Installing the Office System If the system reboots at any time during installation of the Lisa Office System software, make sure the diskettes are not write-protected. The red tab must show through to the front of the micro diskette for the Lisa Office system to use the diskette.
36 Lisa 7/7: LisaTerminal Parity @KEYS: LisaTerminal occasionally changes the parity while receiving a transmission from a host computer. You can detect this change of parity by the grey boxes that appear in the place of the anticipated characters. You must cancel the transmission, reset the parity, and begin again.
37 Lisa 7/7: LisaTerminal Problems LisaTerminal doesn't have a soft break: pressing the break key drops the carrier. This was true in previous versions of the Office System as well.
38 Lisa 7/7: Printing Executive PS on a DWP When you select to print a document on a Daisy Wheel Printer in Executive PS, the printer sometimes simply ejects a blank page. If this occurs, select Elite 12, Courier 10 or Gothic 15 instead; your DWP will then print properly.
39 Lisa 7/7: Problems printing proportional-spaced fonts on a DWP Printing your Lisa 7/7 document in a proportional-spaced (PS) font, such as 12 Point, will yield the following results: A. If you're using a standard "fixed" printwheel, characters such as "w", "m" and "r" will be oddly spaced. B. If you're using a proportional-spaced print wheel, such as the Apple Modern 10/12 PS Printwheel, the odd spacing will be less apparent.
40 Lisa 7/7: SHIFT-OPTION-7 The Lisa Office System Manual for 7/7 documents a procedure to get screen dumps to disk. When this SHIFT-OPTION-7 keystroke procedure is performed, the diskette drive makes the noise of a diskette access. Yet, after this access, there doesn't seem to be anything other than missing blocks on the diskette. And even though the workshop can recognize the file that the disk access created, this file is of little use without some software that is unavailable to the casual user.
41 Lisa 7/7: Upgrade to OS 3.1 w/Pascal Workshop 3.0 on hard disk To upgrade Lisa 7/7 Office System software to 3.1 if the hard disk already contains both the Lisa 7/7 Office System 3.0 and Pascal Workshop 3.0: 1. While in the Workshop environment, insert the Release 3.1 Office System 2 diskette into the microdrive. 2. From the Workshop command line, type R. 3. When asked which file you wish to run, type:" <-lower-StartUpdate". 4. Press the RETURN key. 5.
42 Lisa and Macintosh XL: Memory and Hard Disk Requirements Lisa Office System: Hard Disk: Memory: Office Systems 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 all require you to use at least a 5-megabyte hard disk. Only Lisa 7/7 Version 3.1 will run with 1/2 megabyte of memory. All previous versions of the Office System require 1 megabyte of memory. If you're using Version 3.1, we highly recommend that you use a full megabyte of memory in order to improve system performance.
43 Lisa and Macintosh XL: Restoring Corrupted Parameter Memory In the Lisa 2, Lisa 2/5, and Macintosh XL (Lisa 2/10), parameter memory settings are stored in two locations: parameter RAM on the I/O board, and the hard disk used for system boot. In all Lisas and Macintosh XLs, parameter memory in the RAM is held by standby power as long as the machine is plugged in. Only the Lisa 2s and 2/5s have batteries to maintain parameter memory when the unit is unplugged.
Understanding these five possible configurations will help you track down certain problems that may occur with Preferences. For example, if you make the mistake of installing the unofficial Revision C of MacWorks (configuration 1), Preferences somehow gets corrupted in RAM. Under configurations 2 and 3, this corrupted information is copied to the disk. When another disk is started up (configuration 4), the corrupted RAM information is copied onto this disk as well.
44 Lisa Basic+ 2.0 This article last reviewed: 9 November 1988 You might expect the German umlaut, not a standard ASCII character, to get the interperter to generate a syntax error. Instead, the system hangs as if it were in an infinite loop; use the "pc 0" in the debugger to return to the command line. Avoid using option characters within the program text.
45 Lisa Disks: "Disk Is Deteriorating" Message The dialog box stating that the "Disk Is Deteriorating" indicates that bad blocks have been found on the diskette and that spare good blocks are starting to be used. A directory on the diskette contains the addresses of good blocks that are used as spares. When you get about as many bad blocks on your diskette as you have spare good blocks, the error message is displayed and the diskette may soon become unreadable.
46 Lisa Disks: ProFile Memory Loss If you suspect that you don't have as many blocks available to store your documents as you should, perform a "repair" of the hard disk. The Lisa 1 Owner's Guide describes the repair procecdure on p. D53, while in the Lisa 2 Owner's Guide, it's on p. C24. When given the option to Install or Don't Install, click Don't Install.
47 Lisa Hardware: Video State ROM This article last reviewed: 8 November 1988 If you're unable to print to a printer which previously worked with your system, the Lisa's Video State ROM, part number 341-0229, may be defective. To check for a defective Video State ROM, follow these steps: 1. Verify the proper configuration of Preferences with the printer switches and check the connection of the cables. 2. Borrow a functioning Lisa Video State ROM and ProFile from another system, then try to print again. 3.

48 Lisa Migration Package: Where to Get It Try the Logan, Utah address. This article last reviewed: 10 September 1987 This product, which allows users to "migrate" their data from Lisa to Macintosh, is no longer available from Apple. It is available from: Sun Remarketing 3663 North Hwy.
49 Lisa Office System 3.1: Canon Inkjet Doesn't Print All Styles A problem in Lisa Office System 3.1 prevents the Canon Inkjet from printing in typestyles other than plain text: styles such as bold and hollow are printed as plain. Color options, such as red backgrounds and black outlines, also don't print. The only workaround is to use Office System 3.0 software.
50 Lisa Office System 3.1: Installing with BASIC Workshop 3.0 BASIC Workshop 3.0 is fully compatible with Lisa Office System Release 3.1. If you wish to install the Office System 3.1 and BASIC Workshop 3.0: 1. Back up your documents currently stored on the hard disk. 2. Install the Office System 3.1. Follow the steps in Chapter 6 of the Lisa Office System manual. Select Erase, then select Share if you wish to share the hard disk with Macintosh software. 3. Install BASIC Workshop 3.0.
51 Lisa Office System 7/7 Version 3.1: Migrating documents There is only one version of the Migration software and it is intended to be used with Office System 7/7 Version 3.1. When the Migration software is not properly installed, there are problems of functions not being available, such as the "Make Text File" option in the "File/Print" menu as per page 11 of the Macintosh XL Migration Kit manual.

53 Lisa or Macintosh XL RAM Cache and Mouse Tracking Problems Article Created: 16 October 1986 Article Last Reviewed: 17 July 1992 Article Last Updated: PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: RAM cache and mouse tracking indicators are empty even though the computer has successfully passed diagnostics. The system software is Finder 5.3 or System 3.2. CAUSE: The I/O board is defective. CURE: Remove and Replace the I/O board.
54 Lisa Pascal 3.0: Can't copy protected file; error 1130 Due to a problem in the Lisa Pascal 3.0 Workshop, the File Manager will not copy a file having the copy protection attribute set (i.e., a file attribute of P); instead, the Filer returns error 1130. The workaround for copying a protected program is to use the Generic Install program, merely a generic version of the Office system and Workshop install programs.
55 Lisa Pascal Compilers after v. 3.0: Using real numbers with them In order to use real numbers with Lisa Pascal compilers with version numbers greater than 3.0, do the following: 1. Include in your program the statement: uses {$U Lisa/SaneLib} SANE 2. Link your program with: Lisa/SaneLibAsm Do NOT link your program with IOSFPlib.
56 Lisa Pascal: Creating Shells To create your own environment shell, merely rename your stand-alone Pascal program to SHELL."something". Once your program is named SHELL.xxx, it appears in the environments window. You may then either start your program up from the environments window, or else set the default to have your program automatically start up when you first power up. I recommend using Quick Port, now that it's available with Pascal release 3.0, rather than creating a shell for your program.
57 Lisa Pascal: CRUNCH Page 10-6 Pascal Language Manual indicates that a file closed with CRUNCH should move the EOF mark to the last place of access. This is not the case. If this function is important to users, they may need to write their own routines, insert their own EOF character, or possibly maintain an EOF pointer, which would suggest using block I/O.
58 Lisa Pascal: Mounting and Reading Disk Directories From a Pascal program, you can indeed read the directory information of a diskette. Once you have detected the insertion of a diskette into the drive by using KeybdEvent (cf.
59 Lisa Pascal: Pictures Set the ClipRect before drawing any pictures in Quickdraw. just include: To do this, ClipRect(thePort^.portBits.
60 Lisa Pascal: Printing Graphics Quickdraw has no facility for printing graphics except to use the debugger to print contents of the screen. Refer to the Workshop Manual in the section named The Debugger for more information on printing using the debugger. See also the AppleLink article titled "Workshop 3.1 and Earlier: How to Get a Screen Dump." To write your own routine to print graphics, use the printer ESC sequences.
61 Lisa Pascal: Printing text from a program Here is an example illustrating printing from a Pascal program: program Print__Output; var OutFile: text; begin Rewrite (OutFile, '-printer'); {Declare the printer as a file named OutFile} Writeln (OutFile, 'This is a test.') {Output goes to the printer} Close (Outfile) {Close the file "printer"} end.
62 Lisa Pascal: Problem Reading Directly Into Real Arrays In versions 1.2 and 2.0 of the Lisa Workshop, there was a problem with reading directly into a real array: READLN(FILE,STUFF[2]) where FILE is a file and STUFF is a real array. version 3.0.

65 Lisa Pascal: Units It's not possible to create an intrinsic unit. Even though the manual gives you a minimum of information, you can compile a regular unit. You don't have to put it in a library to use it, as with the Apple II and Apple III. To compile a regular unit, just include the following compiler command at the beginning of your unit: {$U-} Unit Sample; Interface . . . Implementation . . . end. Include the object code file in your program's USES statement.
66 Lisa Pascal: Using Serial Ports Here are some suggestions on how to output from the serial ports using Pascal. Even though the serial ports are not devices for file storage, they must be specified with a dummy file name. The Lisa handles all I/O devices this way. (See the Pascal Operating System Manual.
67 Lisa Peripheral Cards: Responding to error #1222 If you have a printer attached to a parallel expansion card in your Lisa and are planning to move that card to another slot (or remove it entirely), you must be sure to open the Preferences window and set the "Device Connection" for the old slot to "No Device" BEFORE you remove the card from that slot.
68 Lisa Workshop: Eliminating LisaBug For better or for worse, LisaBug is included in the Workshop in the form of two files: SYSTEM.DEBUG and SYSTEM.DEBUG2. In version 1.0 of the software, the mere presence of these two files enables the NMI key (non-maskable interrupt) in the Office System. In later releases of the software, the debugger may be invoked with the NMI key from the Workshop, or from the Office System if you've come directly from the Workshop without first powering down.
69 Lisa Workshop: Increasing available memory Approximately 550K bytes remain when Lisa runs the Workshop with all processes killed. To increase available memory over this limit, run an application as a shell by renaming PROGRAM.OBJ to SHELL.PROGRAM.
70 Lisa Workshop: Program Termination There are a couple of ways to use LisaBug to terminate an infinite loop if your program is in one: When you find your program in an infinite loop: 1. Press the NMI key (minus key on the keypad) to enter the debugger. 2. If the domain is greater than zero--i.e., 1, 2 or 3--type a "G"o, then RETURN. This brings you back to your program then drops you back into Lisabug. If the domain is zero or n, Type "UBR" RETURN.
71 Lisa Workshop: Transfer Program In Transfer, there is a Break key for a hard break: it disconnects you. The easiest way to get around it is to send an XOFF from the keyboard or imbedded in your file (you would have to write a program to put it there). The file is then sent without filtering.

Why is this happening? DISCUSSION -----------------------------------------------------When you attempt to back up a ProFile file to a disk with a pre-version 3.
79 Lisa: Backup Problems This article outlines known problems both with backing up Office Systems 1.0 and 2.0 and with restoring from backups of those Office Systems. Preferences is destroyed by restoring the hard disk from backups. The only way to replace Preferences is to do a full Install (i.e., erase the hard disk and reinstall everything). Instead of restoring the hard disk, then, we advise that you simply duplicate the documents on the desktop individually from the backup disks to the hard disk.

91 Lisa: Error 38 is "No Boot File on Disk" Article Created: 14 May 1991 Article Last Reviewed: 27 May 1991 Article Last Updated: TOPIC ----------------------------------------------------------When I try to boot a MacWorks disk on my Lisa, I get an error code 38. This error is placed under an icon with a check in it. It only accesses the floppy for a brief moment and then gives the error code. It then prompts me to continue or to choose a startup device (STARTUP FROM...).
92 Lisa: Error Numbers The most common (Appendix 3, p. (Appendix 3, p. simply indicate error numbers are described both in the Lisa 1 Owner's Guide I7 and Appendix 6, p. I25), and in the Lisa 2 Owner's Guide G59, and on pp. C49-C58). These error messages usually a general problem. Other more specific error messages are located in the Workshop manual. There are three types of error numbers that can be displayed: 1. A single number: xxx This may be located in the Workshop manual.
1. Reinstall the startup software. Refer to p. D50 in the Lisa 1 Owner's Guide, p. C24 in the Lisa 2 Owner's Guide or p. 160 in the Lisa (7/7) Office System manual. 2. If step 1 doesn't work, repair the hard disk, then repeat step 1. 3. If step 2 doesn't work, you may have bad Office System diskettes. Obtain another set, then try steps 1 and 2 again. 4. If steps 1 thru 3 haven't worked, you'll need to reload the software. First, though, erase the information currently stored on your hard disk.
93 Lisa: Error Tones Some systems (usually those containing old ROMs) emit a low-high error tone upon startup before starting the internal diagnostics. To proceed, merely power the Lisa off and back on. Other errors, ones usually associated with hardware failures, sometimes appear on Lisas in the 7/7 Office System. Typically, you may have neglected to erase your hard disk before installing the 7/7 Office System.
94 Lisa: Format for Printer When printer format settings are made for a document, other blank documents and stationary pads may also change their printing formats to the new settings. This can only happen to documents or stationary pads, such as the LisaWrite stationary pad, that have never had text or data entered into them. The printer format settings of non-empty documents and stationary pads will not change unless specifically set by the Format for Printer dialog box while the document is open.
95 Lisa: Full Backup A full backup of the Office System 2.0 or 3.0 copies all of your files on the hard disk, including any Workshop files you may have stored there. Backing up a 5-megabyte ProFile may require as many as 20-25 microdisks, while an internal 10-Megabyte disk could require more. Release 1.0 copies only your Office System documents.
96 Lisa: How and Why To Back Up Data Because no computer system is infallible, it is important to periodically back up all important documents. This minimizes the risk of loss of data due to power failure, hard disk failure, system hangs, and so on. There are 3 kind of backups: A. A full backup. B. An incremental backup. C. Individual duplication of the document onto a backup disk. (This is the method Apple recommends.) To do a full or incremental backup (method A or B): 1. Insert your diskette. 2.
97 Lisa: Incremental Backups An incremental backup theoretically copies only those files that have changed since the last backup. In Office Systems 1.0 and 2.0, the incremental backup does NOT work that way: it copies everything, just as if you had selected a full backup. Because of this problem, Apple recommends in the Lisa 2 Owner's Guide Release Notes: "Do not back up a hard disk icon to the diskette icon.
98 Lisa: Line Frequency The Lisa hardware manual wrongly states that the line frequency should be 60 Hz +/- 2. The actual number is 50-60 Hz +/- 2, which covers most reasonable power sources. This is true of all Lisa 2s.
99 Lisa: Memory Errors Error Meaning 10590 1033/10 System Hang Memory error encountered on startup Error encountered in Office System Memory error encountered - mouse hang Most memory errors are caused by parity errors, characterized by an unresponsive system and a frozen mouse pointer. Use LisaTest or the extended memory board test to help you determine which of the two memory boards failed.

102 Lisa: Printing If you have difficulties printing to a printer connected to a parallel card in slot 3, try slot 2 or 1. Don't forget to change Preferences before you move the card.
103 Lisa: Restart After Installing the Dictionary Even though the Lisa often restarts after installing the dictionary, this restart does not necessitate repairing the hard disk. You may begin using the system immediately.
104 Lisa: Screen Dumps To print the current contents of the screen, hold down the SHIFT and OPTION keys while pressing the 4 on the keypad. Screen dumps of the Office System 1.0 software only print to the DMP, which must be connected to the upper port of the parallel card in slot 2. Versions newer than Release 1.0 support either the DMP or Imagewriter connected to any port, as long as they're selected in Preferences.

108 Lisa:10707 Error when Booting the Lisa Office Systems I Disk Article Created: 13 August 1986 Article Last Reviewed: 17 July 1992 Article Last Updated: 17 July 1992 PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The 10707 Error occurs upon booting the Office Systems I disk or ProFile hard disk. BEFORE YOU START: Familiarize yourself with the Lisa (or Macintosh XL) Technical Procedures. CAUSE: The disk is write-protected or the system software is damaged.
109 LisaCalc 3.0: Problems Handling Large Documents LisaCalc has difficulty handling documents over 400 blocks long. If you try to build a file that large, an error may occur after you save and put away the document. If you attempt to redisplay it, you may see a dialog box saying "Unable to Redisplay the Document." These problems have been fixed in Lisa Office System Release 3.1. The new LisaCalc size limit is approximately 700 blocks (350K).
110 LisaCalc 7/7: Format for Printer options change When you select Preview Pages in your LisaCalc 7/7 document, any Printing Option selections you made revert to their previous setting. Check Preview Pages prior to setting your Printing Options.
111 LisaCalc 7/7: Regression--explanations and clarifications Some confusion has arisen regarding the F-test formula, a type of Regression value. To begin with, the formula as listed in the LisaCalc manual on 167 is incorrect; it should be F=(r/(k-1))/((1-r)/(n-k)).
112 LisaCalc 7/7: The NPV function is different The NPV function has changed in the 7/7 version of LisaCalc. In the old version (2.0), the first value of the cashflow was counted as the payment for the first period and was thus discounted (annuity due). The formula looked like this: v1/(1+discount)^1 + v2/(1+discount)^2 + ...vn/(1+discount)^p where v is the value of your cash flow, discount is the discount percentage, n is the number of the payment, and p is the number of the period.
113 LisaCalc: Calculation Order LisaCalc 7/7 doesn't have a specific calculation order -- it simply determines the approach that will make for the fewest possible passes. Therefore, you don't need to worry about placement of formulas in relation to the cells they involve. LisaCalc 1.0 and 2.0, on the other hand, calculate first by rows, then by columns. They then check to see if both answers are the same. If they aren't the same, LisaCalc calculates by rows again then rechecks the answers.
114 LisaCalc: Cell Selection If you want to select a range of cells that is larger than the window (such as A1:A100), click in the Cells area at the top of your document (or press APPLE-G) and type the range. Pressing ENTER will select the range.
115 LisaCalc: Cut & Paste NOTE: This information applies to versions 1.0 and 2.0. Although LisaCalc lets you Cut the whole contents of a document, you can't then Paste it anywhere -- not even back into the document you Cut it from. Instead of using Cut and Paste when the whole document is involved, use Copy and Paste.
116 LisaCalc: Cut & Paste With Formulas When you cut cells, formulas that directly refer to those cells are set to ERROR. When you paste, the formulas will be adjusted to reflect the location of the new cells. If you cut a group of cells and the formulas that refer to them, then paste them to another location, the formulas are automatically adjusted.
117 LisaCalc: Entering a Cell's Coordinates Here's how to enter a cell's coordinates without typing it: just point at the cell, and then press the OPTION key and the mouse button at the same time.
118 LisaCalc: Error Results Apparently innocent formulas, like A1+B1, sometimes result in an Error if A1 or B1 is blank. The program has forgotten that blank cells are to be treated as zero in a formula. To get around this lapse of memory, just put a zero (0) in the blank cell.
119 LisaCalc: Find Missing Value Find Next Missing Value does selected cell is in a column appears to report that there sure the selected cell is in not always work. The problem occurs when the that never had any values in it. An alert box are no missing values below the selection. Be a column that has another value.
120 LisaCalc: How to check for a blank cell There are some instances which require a test for an empty or blank cell. To test for this condition, you need to compare the cell in question with another cell that you know will always be blank, such as in: IF(D5=X255,'blank',G4-D5) assuming that X255 is always empty.
121 LisaCalc: Lookup Please ignore the implication, on page D32 of the LisaCalc Manual, that you can enter more than one range for Range1 in your Lookup statement. In fact, when you enter the second range, LisaCalc assumes that this is Range2. You can get around this if your Lookup table spans more than one row or column. Consider, for example, a Lookup table to look up a number in the range of 1 to 300. Obviously, this will be more than one column or row. In Cells B1:B254 you have numbers from 1 to 254.
122 LisaCalc: Management Techniques There are some techniques for managing the size of a spreadsheet: 1. Plan Ahead. You can enter the information more easily and, since making changes tends to increase the size of the sheet, planned entries will save you memory. 2. Structure the information to make the row and column lengths fairly even; avoid stretching your spreadsheet too oblong either way. LisaCalc keeps track of all the cells in the grid.
123 LisaCalc: New vs. Used Rows and Columns On a new Calc sheet, enter the following: in in in in in cell cell cell cell cell A1 A3 A4 A5 A6 enter enter enter enter enter 20 30 50 100 MIN(A1:A5) The value will be 20. Now, enter anything into any cell (other than A2) in row 2. The value in A6 changes to 0. The problem is that that LisaCalc makes a distinction between new and used rows or columns. To get around this, cut row 2 and insert another in its place.
124 LisaCalc: Precision Problems @PUBDATE:840921 @AUTHOR:JH @KEYS: When an IF test uses real numbers, problems with round off can cause incorrect evaluations. For example, say you have the formula IF(A1+A2=A3,"OK","NOT OK") and cell A1 contains 2.1, A2 contains 1.2, and A3 contains A1+A2. Even though the values look identical, the formula will return "NOT OK", because values in an IF statement (A1+A2) have a different precision than values in a cell (A3).
125 LisaCalc: Problems with rounding In cell A2, enter the formula INT(A1*100)/100; in cell A1, enter the value 1.17. You would expect the result in A2 to be 1.17; however, due to difficulties in converting decimal to binary and back, the result returned is 1.16. If the intent of the above expression is to round to two decimal places, then use ROUND(A1,2) or ROUND(INT(A1*100)/100,2). To compare the two cells to see if they are equal, use IF(A2-A1<.0001,EQUAL,NOTEQUAL).
126 LisaCalc: Sorting @PUBDATE:840921 @AUTHOR:EW @KEYS: There is a way of sorting in LisaCalc. Let's say, for example, that you wanted to sort a column of numbers (B1:B35) in Ascending order. To do this, you need to set up an additional column of formulas like this: In the first cell (C1), put search(B1:B35,cellC1,500,cell) Now, Paste Adjust it to C3:C35, adjusting the C1.

128 LisaCalc: The Time It Takes to Save and Put Away Yes, it takes a long time to save large Calc spreadsheets. Fifteen minutes or more is neither uncommon nor abnormal. If the sheet has Lookups, Ifs, and Searches, the sheet may take even longer to save. Simply be patient.
129 LisaCalc: Updating Documents From Earlier Releases The new calculation algorithm in LisaCalc, release 3.0, may be unable to fully update a spreadsheet created with an earlier version of LisaCalc. If no data was included to calculate a value for a cell created using Paste Adjusting, then the formula may not be present in the updated spreadsheet. If this occurs, simply Paste Adjust the formula again.
130 LisaCalc: Using dates in formulas To use a date in a formula, as for calculating cost per day, you need to transform the date part into a number.
131 LisaDraw, MacDraw, MacPaint: White letters on a black background Need to put white letters on a black background? following. Well, just do the MacPaint: 1. Select the text option from the pallet; select the font of your choice, then Outline or Shadow from the Style menu and type in your text. 2. Select the Paint Can from the pallet, then a shade of black. Move the pointer (now a small paint can) off to the side of your text and double click.
132 LisaDraw: 2.0 Stationery Paper torn off the 2.0 LisaDraw stationary pad is 8 pages wide. To make a pad with fewer pages: select the preferred Drawing Size, draw a box, circle, line, etc, with lines white, shades none. Save your document, then select Make Stationary Pad from the File/Print menu. Throw away your old stationery pad if you wish.
133 LisaDraw: Centered Text When you select certain objects in LisaDraw, such as rectangles and circles, then start typing, the text aligns in that object. This means that if you have "Align Centers" selected (the default), your text is centered in the object.
134 LisaDraw: Cut & Paste from LisaWrite Text can be cut or copied from LisaWrite and pasted into LisaDraw; however, LisaDraw doesn't understand "wraparound", so the information is pasted in one long line. For example, a paragraph consuming 5 or 6 lines copied from LisaWrite is pasted into LisaDraw as one long line (up to approximately 225 characters if there's sufficient room).
135 LisaDraw: Error 3001 or 3007 When printing a document, you might receive error message 3001 or 3007 as a result of having entered some text in your document then backspacing over a portion of it. The BACKSPACE sometimes changes the type style of the text string to the system font, the font used for displaying Lisa menus and messages. Unfortunately, LisaDraw doesn't know how to print the system font.
136 LisaDraw: Even Spacing Two methods for spacing objects evenly are: - Select all the objects you wish to space evenly, then select Align to Autogrid from the Arrangement menu. - Make evenly spaced copies of an object by duplicating the object and moving it the distance you want. While the duplicate is still selected, duplicate this duplicate. Each subsequent duplicate moves the same distance as the first duplicate you moved.
137 LisaDraw: Location of Pasted Objects When pasted into LisaDraw, objects are centered around the last mouse click. If you haven't clicked in the document, the object is centered on the first page.
138 LisaDraw: Pasting from LisaGraph Remember that graphs pasted from LisaGraph to LisaDraw are grouped, sometimes in many layers. Therefore, to access a specific part of the graph, ungroup the objects until the one you wish can be selected individually.
139 LisaDraw: Printing 18-point bold italic text Even though 18-point bold italic appears to be fine on the screen, it may grow 10 to 15% in size when printed, possibly overrunning any boxes it may have been placed in or graphics it was placed close to.
140 LisaDraw: Printing Landscape, High Resolution When you print LisaDraw documents in landscape high resolution, horizontal lines and text may be longer on paper than they appeared on the screen. This distortion is due to the difference in the pixel size between the screen and the printer. If you are designing a document to be printed in landscape high resolution, compensate for the line length by drawing your horizontal lines a little shorter, position text in boxes a little to the left, etc.
141 LisaDraw: Shading Arcs and Curves The default shade for text in LisaDraw is white, as it is for all closed objects (circles, squares, etc.). The default shade for arcs and freehand curves is "none." Consider shading arcs and freehand curves to give them a larger selectable area, making them easiler to select.
142 LisaDraw: Shrinking and Stretching Shrinking and stretching objects in LisaDraw is described on pp. B19-B21 and C75-C76 of the LisaDraw manual on pp. 137-138 of the Lisa 7/7 manual To prevent distorting your objects when you stretch and shrink them, use the handles in the middle (not in the corners) of each side, moving each of the handles the same distance from the center.
143 LisaDraw: Specifications I. LisaDraw: A6D0300 --Includes: LisaCalc, LisaProject, LisaGraph, LisaList, LisaWrite, LisaTerminal and the Lisa Office System. Available from Sun Remarketing, P. O. Box 4059, Logan, Utah 84321 (801) 752-7631 1. Maximum Drawing Size: 32 sq. feet; about 60 pages 2. Palette Selections: A. Rectangles: with and without rounded corners B. Circles and ellipses C. Lines: a. Horizontal, vertical and diagonal b. Thicknesses: fine, narrow, medium, wide c. 36 patterns d.

Typestyles: A. Variety of fonts and sizes available B. Bold, italic, underline, outline, shadow or any combination 9. Features: A. Undo function: cancels effects of last operation B. Revert To Previous Version: undoes all changes made since document was last saved C.
144 LisaGraph: Changing Shades To change the shading on the bars or legends in your bar charts: 1. Paste the graph into LisaDraw 2. Ungroup the objects until the object you want to modify can be selected individually. 3. Shade the bars.
145 LisaGraph: Coefficient of Determination In the LisaGraph 7/7manual, the bottom paragraph on page 82 states: "Lisa places a number near the end point of the line on the right side of the chart, called the correlation coefficient or confidence factor (r-squared)." This value placed at the end of the regression line is actually the r-square value or the coefficient of determination.
146 LisaGraph: Copying From LisaCalc To copy rows from LisaCalc to paste into columns in LisaGraph (or columns into rows), make sure you select entire rows or columns by clicking on their headers. Selecting a random range of cells doesn't work. After pasting, cut or clear any superfluous information.
147 LisaGraph: Customizing the X axis To customize the X axis, you must have a line graph or a scattergram graph selected. Customizing is described on pp. C89-C93 in the LisaGraph 1.0 or 2.0 manual, or p. 83 in the LisaGraph 3.0 manual.
148 LisaGraph: More graphs on a page If you want more than one graph on a page, paste the graphs into a LisaDraw document, then arrange them anyway you wish.
149 LisaGraph: Specifications I. LisaGraph: A6D0300 --Includes: LisaCalc, LisaProject, LisaDraw, LisaList, LisaWrite, LisaTerminal and the Lisa Office System. Available from Sun Remarketing, P. O. Box 4059, Logan, Utah 84321 (801) 752-7631 1. Graph Types: A. B. C. D. E. F. Bar Line Mixed bar/line Clustered bar (up to 8 bars per cluster) Scatter Pie 2. Maximum Size: A.

Revert To Previous Version: undoes all changes made to the graph since it was last saved C. Display more than one document on the screen at the same time D.
150 LisaGraph: Two decimal places If you wish to have numbers with two decimal places on the X or Y axis, be aware that LisaGraph always rounds the numbers up to the first decimal place for any increment except .05.
151 LisaGuide: Startup IMPORTANT FACT: The LisaGuide diskette doesn't contain any system startup instructions, so if you try to start LisaGuide solely from the diskette, a crossed out Lisa icon and an error 10735 is displayed. To boot LisaGuide: Startup From... the ProFile with your LisaGuide diskette in the drive. If you're still unable to boot LisaGuide, your Office System or your LisaGuide diskette may be damaged. First, repair and reinstall the Office System startup software as described on p.
152 LisaList: Capacity The capacity of LisaList depends on the amount of disk storage space available. But each record (row) has a specific capacity of 990 bytes, with 100 fields (columns) per record. Note: files that fit on the 5-1/4 disk may be too large to fit on a 3-1/2" microdisk under release 2.0; however, Lisa Operating System 3.0 splits the document among many diskettes if necessary.
153 LisaList: Error Too Many Time Components Typing (or pasting) a time, such as 1:15 pm, into a cell may result in the error message: "Too many time components. Format is..." when your Data Format includes an am/pm (e.g., hh:0m am). The am and pm acts as if they need 4 spaces instead of 2. With a Data Format of hh:0m am, you may enter up to 4 numbers for the hours and minutes, but ONLY up to 2 characters if you include an am or pm.
154 LisaList: Sorting People frequently use a Text format rather than a Number format for columns of numbers. LisaList, when sorting number formatted fields, sorts them in ascending or descending numerical order. When these numbers are formatted as text, they are sorted via a comparison of letters. This means that all of the numbers that start with 1 (10, 15, 100, 1000, etc.) sort together, the 2's are grouped together, and so on.
155 LisaList: Specifications I. LisaList: A6D0300 Available from Sun Remarketing, P. O.

Built-in file-recovery mechanism: protects data from power fluctuations and media failures 12. Printing: A. B. C. D. E.
156 LisaProject 1.0 and 2.0: Resources Releases 1.0 and 2.0 of LisaProject do not allow resources to work on different tasks simultaneously. When your tasks do not have the dates you anticipated, rename your resources so that each resource has a unique name. For example, if "Joe" is working on two parallel tasks, rename the resource Joe 1 and Joe 2, so the program treats them as two different resources. Resources also impact the scheduling of tasks later on in the project, so keep an eye on them.
157 LisaProject 3.0: Copying and Pasting the Task Table When copying and pasting the Task Table into documents such as LisaCalc and LisaList, the late finish dates (4th column) is pasted over the top of the early finish dates (2nd column). Since you cannot select and Copy just a portion of the Task Table, you will have to correct the early finish dates manually.
158 LisaProject 3.0: Largest Integer In LisaProject, entered or calculated integers greater than 2,147,483,646 will be stored incorrectly--most likely as a negative number. Consider using multiples of hundreds or thousands of dollars whenever you suspect the cost of your project might exceed 2 billion.
159 LisaProject 7/7: selecting line cause display to jump When you select a perfectly horizontal line connecting two tasks in a multipage LisaProject document, the screen display jumps to the first page of the document. To avoid this inconvenience, move one of the task boxes up or down until the dependancy line is no longer horizontal before selecting it.
160 LisaProject: Applications of LisaProject While the Lisa applications library offers many attractive features, LisaProject draws the attention of many executive decision makers. Apple presents LisaProject as a powerful instrument to efficiently and effectively accomplish resource scheduling. But as one explores the subject beyond this point, many questions arise.
Keywords: __________________________________________________________________________________ The Legacy of the Lisa: An Outsider’s View [Chapter XXX] REVISION 1 201of 276
161 LisaProject: Capacity The maximum capacity of a LisaProject document is 60 pages, or more than 2,500 tasks with over 100 resources per task. LisaProject release 1 and 2.0 allow you to enter up to 20 vacation days, while release 3.0 accepts up to 40.
162 LisaProject: Connecting Tasks Be careful not to draw lines connecting task boxes in LisaProject sloppily. For example, if you have 3 tasks that are supposed to follow one another, don't draw a line directly from the first task to the third; otherwise, the middle task may incorrectly be assigned the start date of the first task. In such a case, the second task may appear connected to other tasks when it really isn't.
163 LisaProject: Dates If your task box has questions marks instead of dates, you've set a scheduled date that caused the program to push the dates outside of the calendar range.
164 LisaProject: Duration Make sure that when entering resources and durations, you TAB over to the next field, NOT space over to it. Otherwise, LisaProject assumes the duration to be zero.
165 LisaProject: Extra Pages To get rid of extra pages in LisaProject, Save and Put Away the document, then redisplay it. The extra pages should be deleted. If this doesn't work, try changing the print orientation (for example, change Portrait to Landscape), change it back, then save it and put it away. The extra pages should be gone when you reopen your document.
166 LisaProject: Resource Chart Resources listed on the Resource chart are sorted in the order they were entered, until you save and put away your project. They are then sorted from left to right as they appear on the chart. To sort your resources differently, create a task box at the left side of your project and enter the resources in the order you want. Save your document. When you redisplay your document, the resources are sorted in the same order as in the task box you created.
167 LisaProject: Scheduled dates When you enter a scheduled date for a task, LisaProject recalculates the dates to reflect it. However, if the date you entered is thought by the program to be illogical, LisaProject overrides it and enters its own date. The date is underlined just as if you had set it.
168 LisaProject: Specifications I. LisaProject: A6D0300 --Includes: LisaCalc, LisaDraw, LisaGraph, LisaList, LisaWrite, LisaTerminal and the Lisa Office System. Available from Sun Remarketing, P. O.

Printing: A. B. C. D. E. F.
169 LisaProject: Start Date If your resource or task charts begin on a date other than the date set in your beginning milestone, then you've (most likely) created a task that has no predecessor, or you have encountered the "phantom task box" (very rare). Large phantom task boxes have been discovered when the LisaProject document is copied and pasted into LisaDraw. The box has also been discovered in LisaProject just off the edge of the schedule.
170 LisaTerminal 7/7: Communicating with Unix's Emacs Editor If you're using LisaTerminal's VT100 mode to communicate with an Emac Editor, avoid using split windows; otherwise, a problem with the 7/7 software causes the Lisa's screen to be updated randomly. Alternatively, transmit a CTRL-I to erase and redisplay the current screen.
171 LisaTerminal 7/7: Configuring Preferences to Use a Modem To use a modem from LisaTerminal 7/7, use Preferences to make the device connection a Serial Cable rather than a Modem. If you fail to do this, the system will constantly set LisaTerminal communications to Off-Line.
172 LisaTerminal 7/7: NULL character at begining of each pasted line LisaTerminal sends an ASCII 0 (NULL) character at the beginning of each pasted line. This does not occur when entering text from the keyboard. The addition of the NULL character helps LisaTerminal compensate for wordwrapping, eliminating the need to have a return at the end of each line of text.
173 LisaTerminal 7/7: Record Separator function LisaTerminal's Record Separator (RS) function doesn't work as documented in the manual: neither pressing "CTRL-6" nor the tilde key (upper left corner of keyboard) will send an RS.
174 LisaTerminal: Apple Modem cables There is a deceptive similarity of the Apple modem cable (part number 540-0197) and the Macintosh printer cable (part number 590-0146). You will have problems when you use LisaTerminal and the Apple modem with the Macintosh printer cable.
175 LisaTerminal: Capacity The capacity of a LisaTerminal document is 1,500 lines. When you reach that limit, LisaTerminal gives you a message telling you to save the document and start on another. If you don't another document and simply continue to receive information, Lisa begins to have memory problems and you run the risk of losing your document.
176 LisaTerminal: Clearing the Screen If you are having problems with clearing the screen, try setting the Columns Per Line from 80 to 132, then back to 80.
177 LisaTerminal: Cluster Controller The Apple Cluster Controller maintains an interface between an IBM host and the Apple Computer by emulating IBM 3278-2 terminal functions and 3287-1 printer functions. The Controller comes in two flavors: 1. SNA/SDLC, which emulates an IBM 3274 or IBM 3276 Control Unit/Display Station, and 2. BSC (bisynchronous), which emulates an IBM 3271 Control Unit.
178 LisaTerminal: Copy and Paste from LisaCalc Before LisaTerminal can recieve LisaCalc Copy or Paste information in the appropriate format (in columns), you need to set LisaTerminal's tabs to reflect the width of each column you want LisaTerminal to send. When you don't set the tabs, all of the information appears in one column with spaces between each entry. To set tabs in LisaTerminal, follow the procedure on pages 46-48 in the LisaTerminal manual.
179 LisaTerminal: Copy and Paste from LisaWrite When you paste from LisaWrite to LisaTerminal, Terminal expects a carriage return after every line and truncates the line if it is too long. There is a way of getting around this: 1. Copy the LisaWrite document and paste into an off-line LisaTerminal document (one that isn't dialed into anything). The Lisa will put in put in carriage returns for you. 2. Copy it again, dial up, then paste. There are two problems with this method. 1.
180 LisaTerminal: Dialing up another Lisa To dial up another Lisa, or any other computer, you need to have a modem that has an auto answer capability, such as Hayes Smartmodem or an Apple Modem. 1. Make sure that the compatibility settings are the same for both computers. 2. To see what you're typing, set the compatibilities at half duplex. 3. Dial the other modem's phone number. This modem will answer and send back the carrier. When your modem receives the carrier it will tell you that you're connected.
181 LisaTerminal: Hang when line is busy When LisaTerminal dials the number automatically and the line is busy or there is no answer, the system appears to hang. In fact, LisaTerminal runs a timeout loop in these situations and nothing stops that loop except cutting off the power. You must wait a minute; once the timeout loop ends, the apparent system hang is over and the Lisa behaves normally.
182 LisaTerminal: Important Things to Know 1. You can't abort the pasting into LisaTerminal of a file to be transmitted. 2. You can't set LisaTerminal to respond automatically to a prompt from a host computer, such as an editor prompt for next line.
183 LisaTerminal: Manual Errata, Versions 1.0 - 2.
184 LisaTerminal: Maximum length of phone number The LisaTerminal manual states that the phone number must not exceed 40 characters; however, when you enter a number, only the first 24 characters are displayed. Only the first 24 characters are dialed when the dial menu is used. The practical limit, therefore, is 24 digits, not 40.
185 LisaTerminal: Sending PF1 Pressing the PF1 key in LisaTerminal's VT100 mode causes LisaTerminal to send an ESC-P, not an ESC-1. To send an ESC-1, hold down the tilde key (upper-left corner of the keyboard) then press the 1 key.
186 LisaTerminal: Setting the baud rate for an Apple Modem The baud rate on the Apple 1200 modem is not unalterable, although how to alter the rate is not very obvious: you alter the rate by passing data to the modem at the rate you want the modem to transmit data. From whichever program you use to send data to the modem, it determines the baud rate of the data it recieves and sets itself at that rate.
187 LisaTerminal: Specifications I. LisaTerminal: A6D0300 --Includes: LisaCalc, LisaDraw, LisaGraph, LisaWrite, LisaList, LisaProject and the Lisa Office System. Available from Sun Remarketing, P. O.

Save data with the Record Lines Off Top option; scroll back through the data (not available in 3278 mode) 8.
188 LisaTerminal: VT100 Mode When you want to emulate VT100 operation with LisaTerminal, set Lisa to "forget" lines that scroll off the screen. This mode appears to emulate VT100 functions more accurately. You can then set the Lisa to "remember" and download data or text, then set Lisa back for VT100 terminal operation. During this setting and resetting, Lisa does not clear that text which has been "remembered".
189 LisaTerminal: VT52 Errata @PUBDATE:840921 @AUTHOR:JH @KEYS: In the LisaTerminal manual (versions 1.2 and 2.0), page 81 gives the chart for cursor control characters in the VT52 mode. The command for direct cursor address is incorrect.
190 LisaTerminal:Receiving carriage return-linefeed If you aren't receiving a line feed character from the computer that you're trying to communicate with, then you need to instruct the other computer to send them. The lack of line feeds is a problem with the other computer and not the with LisaTerminal. In the LisaTerminal manual it suggests that setting Auto New-line to On will resolve this problem.

192 LisaWrite 2.0: Landscape Printing There is a problem printing in Landscape mode in LisaWrite 2.0. Missing and partly formed characters are printed in the upper right portion of a write document printed 'while you wait'. (Versions 3.0 and 3.1 of Lisa 7/7 don't give you the option of printing 'while you wait', so the problem doesn't occur with these versions.) The workaround is to print 'while you work'.
193 LisaWrite 3.0: How To Eliminate Previous Text Embedded In New Job This article last reviewed: 7 April 1988 If you you begin printing a LisaWrite 3.0 document on a daisy wheel printer, then cancel the job (with the "Monitor the Printer" menu item), portions of the cancelled job will appear embedded in the text of your next printed LisaWrite document.

Your missing text should reappear after you select Save and Continue from the File Print menu. There are also rare occasions when a line of text may not be printed at the bottom of a page.
198 LisaWrite: Formatting Are you having problems with formats disappearing? Keep this in mind: all formatting is retained by the carriage return. Your constant loss of formats tells you that the carriage return isn't being carried to the next paragraph, and you must have clicked in the wrong place before starting to type. Make this easy fix: 1. 2. 3. 4. Select a paragraph that is formatted correctly. Copy that paragraph. Select the paragraph to be fixed.
199 LisaWrite: How To Double Underline To double underline: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5 Set the format to single-spaced paragraph. Go down to the next line and type equal signs (=). Select the equal signs.

208 Macintosh XL and Lisa 2/10: Internal 800K disk drive This article last reviewed: 30 September 1987 An 800K internal floppy disk drive can be installed in a Lisa 2/10 or Macintosh XL. The product is available from DAFAX Processing Corp.
209 Macintosh XL: Screen Kit Notes This article last reviewed: 31 August 1987 1. The Macintosh XL Screen Kit alters the video display of a Macintosh XL (Lisa 2/10 or Lisa 2) so that the video display pixels are square (as on the Macintosh screen) as opposed to the pixel ratio on the Lisa (2 units wide by 3 units tall). This eliminates the distortion experienced by XL users when running Macintosh software under MacWorks XL. The video display is changed from 720 x 364 to 608 x 431 pixels. 2.
210 Macintosh1/2 XL(Lisa 2/5) : Clobbers Other Nodes On ATalk Article Created: 22 April 1986 Article Last Reviewed: 17 July 1992 Article Last Updated: PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A Macintosh 1/2 XL (originally called Lisa 2/5) may suffer from noise problems on its receiving lines. This interferes with its ability to hear other network devices, so may think it is safe to broadcast even if another node is transmitting. This can result in collisions that clobber other node's transmissions.
211 MacTerminal and LisaTerminal: Line feeds after carriage returns It is the job of the sending device to provide line feeds after carriage returns if necessary. For example, when you're using your Macintosh to send text to another Macintosh, you must select New Line (a Terminal Settings option from the Settings menu); otherwise, the user on the other end will receive all the incoming text overwritten on one line. In LisaTerminal, set Auto New Line to "on" to SEND a line feed after a carriage return.
212 MacWorks 3.0: Boot Problem When booting from the hard drive using MacWorks 3.0 the following Message may appear: Cannot Build the DeskTop. Unlock the disk! O.K. When you click O.K. the unit shuts down. This is the result of a system with an old I/O Rom. are Mac XL: 88, Lisa 2: A8.
213 MacWorks XL: Encountering Error -96 During Hard Disk Install If you see error -96 during the Hard Disk Install of MacWorks XL, try to initialize the hard disk using either Lisa Workshop or Lisa 7/7 software. If that initialization fails, you must replace the hard disk unit of the Lisa or Macintosh XL.
214 MacWorks XL: Error on Hard Disk Startup A problem with the released version of MacWorks XL can be worked around, even though the exact cause is not clear as yet. After installing MacWorks on a hard disk dedicated only to Macintosh files, you may get the following error during the boot process: the expansion card icon appears with an X through it and a 2 inside it. There may also be the number 90 below it. At this point, you have a choice of starting up from one of two disks: hard or floppy.
215 MacWorks: Starting Up From a Hard Disk There are several versions of MacWorks, each with a different start-up procedure. The two later versions let you access the built-in 10-megabyte hard disk (in a Macintosh XL) or a 5- or 10-megabyte ProFile connected to the built-in parallel port of a Lisa 2. MacWorks: 682-0103-A After the Macintosh XL starts up from this original version of MacWorks, the system can run almost any Macintosh application residing on diskette.
If you use BOTH 1) the built-in parallel port connected to a hard disk, or the built-in hard disk after it's been formatted exclusively for Macintosh software, AND 2) a Parallel Interface Card connected to a hard disk formatted for Lisa software, then you'll have to select the hard disk you want the system to start up from. The system will automatically start up from the hard disk last used, provided you haven't unplugged the system or changed the Preference settings.
216 MacWorks: Which Lisa boot ROMs to use The same boot ROMs recommended for Lisa software are fine for systems running MacWorks. In addition, square pixel ROMs are available for systems running only MacWorks XL.

221 Using Lisa 2.0 Files With Lisa 7/7 When you open a document with a Lisa application, there must be enough disk space to retain the original document while you work - in the event you later choose "revert to previous version." Even more disk space is required to enable you to use "undo." This is why you may see the message "Not enough room to open file" when you try to read a Lisa 2.0 document stored on diskette by Lisa 7/7.
222 Using LisaTerminal in the Background Sometimes large documents take several minutes to transmit from the Lisa to the host computer, so you may set aside the LisaTerminal document to work on another document. In this other document, avoid using the options Cut, Paste, Copy from the edit menu. Until the paste has been completed, you run the risk of aborting the transmission.
