Personal computer, 1985, Apple. The Macintosh XL is the Apple Lisa 2/10 renamed and sold as a big-screen Macintosh: a Lisa with a built-in 10 MB hard disk running MacWorks XL, a program that emulates the Macintosh ROM so that the machine runs Macintosh software on its 12 inch screen; as a Macintosh XL the machine no longer runs the Lisa Office System.
