About the Macintosh XL

The Macintosh XL was Apple Computer's final attempt to salvage the failing Lisa platform by repositioning it as a high-end Macintosh computer. Released on January 1, 1985, the Macintosh XL was essentially a rebadged Lisa 2/10 bundled with MacWorks XL, a software environment that enabled 64K Macintosh ROM emulation. Despite initial success that exceeded Apple's conservative projections, the company discontinued the Macintosh XL after just four months when component supplies were exhausted, making it one of the shortest-lived products in Apple's history.
