I have been offered a Lisa (Mac XL) 2/5 at what seems a reasonable
price, before I take the plunge is there anything that I should know?

I was told that most software was compatible (all but those that
directly address the sound & the screen), but that could mean anything !
Would someone be kind enough to enlighten me about the problems that
I might be buying myself into!  Mention was also made that various cards
have been/are produced that fit the Lisa (esp. processor upgrades
that would put the machine on a similar footing to the MAC II, although
I have taken this with a copious amont of salt, is it actually true ?).


On a slightly different tack, mention has been made of using cmd-K
to create the complete postscript file when printing, I can get
cmd-F to work ok, but K goes completely unnoticed, ok guys what did
I do wrong ?
