I thought there was always a way to skip registration, unless the USB stick you created is doing some type of internet recovery. Is this the only Mac you have?

Well, if an iPad 1/2/3 at 9.7” is too large for a smaller print, we could try an iPad Mini 1/2/3/5 at 7.9”, but working controller boards are harder to find. I think this may be the only one. eBay for AbuseMark.

Thanks for those measurements. I think we still need to wait for word if the LisaFPGA can even output to 1024x768 over HDMI, as the documentation seems to show that it outputs full 1080p. Not sure if an iPad control board scales higher HDMI signals down to 1024x768.

Here is that Pi case at 325% and thinned out. It will probably be easier to modify this model than recreate from the 3D scanned version.

If you want to go full size, I would suggest finding an old ibook 12" and salvaging that screen, as there are driver boards for it. I think there even may be used screens available for replacement.

80% slim compared to original Lisa size.

Agreed. Some parts could be seamed with minimal visual impact, but the front panel is still an issue. There is room to shrink it further to fit inside a 300x300x400mm build volume of an old CR-10 or 350x350x350 K2 build volume. Further shrinkage may make the 9.7 screen appear...

Keeping with the original aesthetics (angles, vents, panels, etc), at 90% scale... People who want a real 400k floppy could mount it vertical on the right side (label facing you) and only have to replace that one panel. Another panel could be designed for the Floppy emu board and buttons. Keep...

Panelook.com offers a lot of details: It lists the LM201W01 STB2 as TMDS and the SLA1 as LVDS. It lists the LM171W02 A4M1 as TMDS and the TLB2 as LVDS. Google AI says not compatible?

If you look at a Lisa, every side is a panel, it is not a full single piece like a classic Macintosh. So, you could have alternate panels for the front and right side for people that want a real floppy inside, floppy EMU, or alternate front with SD access. Just a comparison between original...

I just need something to start with... I dug around on the web and found what seems to be a 3D scan of a Lisa 2. I reduced polygons to make it easier to mess with. I shrunk the nose by 50%, and cut 5 inches out of the back. I tried to keep all original angles intact. The Lisa 2 has a 12"...

Not sure if we should start a separate related thread for the case design, instead of continuing here. I like the idea of it being an iPad monitor, with the option to add either FPGA or Pi. If I reduce it to 90%, the iPad screen fits better, but the floppy would have to come out the side like...

Moved my post to the Apple Lisa 3D Case Project... This is a truly a magical piece of engineering. If someone is getting one of these produced fully populated (or with all SMDs populated), count me in for a group buy.

I like the AI generated images, but the ports don't match the example board photo previously posted. Without the Gerber, it would be difficult to model an enclosure to match the ports, unless you intend to totally enclose the board and have jumpers or port extenders to the external case. I...

I ordered ten small boards for $9.59 in April 2026, and there were no import fees to the USA. Maybe there is a minimum threshold?
