The Mac XL (alias Lisa 2/10) has one problem in the Mac mode using the
MacWorks program.  The pixels are a different shape and circles on the
Mac as in MacPaint or MacDraw look like ovals on the XL.  LisaVision
is reportedly a board that corrects this problem.  However part of
the Lisa screen becomes blank since the board changes the viewed portion
to be the shape of the Mac screen but at maximum size.  Then if you
go to Jazz and want to see additional rows and columns per Apple's
announcement yesterday, there is a one key change to the regular Lisa screen.
Apparently there are expansion slots in the XL which are not in the other Macs.
I haven't seen this board.  It is available for $79 from:
LisaVision, 2441 9th Ave, Sacramento, CA. 95818 or
General Computer Center, 1870 Airport Rd., Allentown, PA 215-266-1880.
