Apple Lisa Replica PCB

The Apple Lisa (1983) was Apple's first GUI computer — eighteen months before the Macintosh. It pioneered cooperative multitasking, protected memory on the 68000, and the document-based desktop. We build all three Lisa motherboard variants: Lisa 1 (Twiggy drives), Lisa 2/5, and Lisa 2/10.

Frequently asked

Apple Lisa Replica PCB — questions answered

Why is the Lisa so much more complex than the Mac to build?

The Lisa was Apple's flagship enterprise machine — protected memory, parity-checked RAM, hardware MMU. Roughly 3x the chip count of an original Mac, hence the longer build time.

Lisa 1 with Twiggy drives — do those even work?

We build the board faithfully. The Twiggy drives themselves are notorious failure points — most Lisa 1 owners convert to the Sony 3.5" upgrade (which Apple offered free in 1984 as the Lisa 2/5 retrofit).

Built to outlast you.

Every board is hand-soldered by Logan in a Fresno workshop, period-correct components where available, and shipped with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
