Macintosh XL

The Macintosh XL was a modified version of the Apple Lisa personal computer that was released by Apple Computer on January 1, 1985.

History
In the Macintosh XL configuration, the computer shipped with MacWorks XL, a Lisa program that allowed 64K Macintosh ROM emulation. An identical machine was previously sold as the Lisa 2/10 with the Lisa OS only. Sun Remarketing collaborated with Apple to package MacWorks with the system, and also offered upgrades to 800K double-sided floppy disk drives.

The Macintosh XL turned out to be a surprise hit, but Apple ran out of parts by April 29 to build any more because the production line for the underperforming Lisa computer had been shut down. The XL was officially discontinued on August 1, 1985. Customers who had unfulfilled orders or wanted to trade in their Apple Lisa were offered a Macintosh Plus, released in January 1986.

The Macintosh XL can run System 1.1 to Mac OS 7.5.5.
