Vintage Micros Releases Lisa Sound Card

Vintage Micros (http://www.vintagemicros.com) has produced and released one of the hardest to find products for the Apple Lisa computer.  The Lisa DAC Sound Card is considered to be the holy grail of collectables for the Lisa and now for a limited time, they are offering the card for sale for $229.00  The card uses the Lisa speaker to produce the sound and can produce anything from standard computer sounds to full blown voice and audio reproduction.  The card comes with software which allows manipulation of the sound.

This project according the Vintage Micros owner, John Woodall, has “taken several years to develop and several thousand dollars to produce”.  Currently, there are 24 boards remaining of the original 50 (this also subject to orders) and if you want one of these cards you will need to act fast.  This initial run of 50 is the only run that will be produced of the card.

Apple and Control Data

Apple Computer Australia are making arrangements for the appointment of Control Data Australia as its third-party maintenance organisation in Australia. The agreement will result in users having access to a nation-wide on-site maintenance service.

Control Data will install and maintain Apple II , Apple /I and Lisa computers and peripherals, including printers and video monitors. The on-site support offered by Control Data will complement Apple’s current dealer maintenance service ..

“This agreement will have a number of advantages for Apple users”, Apple Australia’s General Manager, David Strong, said in a joint announcement with Control Data.”

“On-site maintenance has never oeen available for Apple computers on a national basis before. Its availability will now be ideal for the professional user who needs to get full productivity out of his installation and cannot afford to have his computer taken away for service, as well as for those in high-security areas.”
