== Hardware Specifications == === Processor and Memory === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Component !! Specification |- | CPU || Motorola MC68000 @ 5 MHz |- | Data Bus || 16-bit external |- | Address Bus || 24-bit |- | Base RAM || 1 MB (higher than Lisa 2/5) |- | Maximum RAM || 2 MB (via memory board upgrades) |- | ROM || 16 KB (bootstrap and self-test routines) |} === Storage === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Device !! Specification |- | Floppy Drive || Single 400 KB 3.5" Sony SS/DD drive |- | Hard Drive || Internal 10 MB Widget |- | Disk Controller || Integrated Woz Machine (IWM) chip |- | Floppy Format || GCR multi-speed encoding |- | Floppy Eject || Software-controlled |} The Lisa 2/10 used the Integrated Woz Machine (IWM) chip for disk control, unlike the Lisa 1 and 2/5 which used a discrete component state-machine implementation of the Woz Machine. === Widget Drive === The Widget was Apple's internal 10 MB hard drive designed specifically for the Lisa 2/10: * '''Capacity:''' 10 MB formatted * '''Interface:''' Internal parallel connection (same protocol as ProFile) * '''Location:''' Mounted internally where the parallel port would be on a Lisa 2/5 The Widget gained a reputation for reliability issues and is often replaced with modern alternatives in restored systems. === Display === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Specification !! Value |- | Screen Size || 12" diagonal |- | Resolution || 720 Γ 364 pixels |- | Display Type || Monochrome CRT (black and white) |- | Refresh Rate || 60 Hz vertical |- | Contrast || 64 software-controlled levels |- | External Video || RCA jack (non-standard composite output) |} === Input/Output === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Port !! Description |- | Serial Ports || 2Γ RS-232C (25-pin), up to 38.4 Kbps |- | Parallel Port || Internal only (routed to Widget) |- | Keyboard || 3-pin 1/4" phone plug, coiled cord |- | Mouse || DE-9 connector, single-button mechanical-optical |- | Expansion Slots || 3Γ proprietary Lisa slots |} '''Note:''' The Lisa 2/10 lacks the external parallel port present on the Lisa 1 and 2/5. This port was rerouted internally to support the Widget drive. External ProFile drives can still be connected using a 2-Port Parallel Card in an expansion slot. === Power Supply === The Lisa 2/10 required a higher-capacity "DataPower" power supply to support the internal Widget drive: * North American: 1.8A at 120V, 60 Hz * International: 1.0A at 220-240V, 50 Hz This power supply is more robust than the 1.2A version in the Lisa 2/5 and is considered more reliable for long-term use.
