If you wish to move your Emu board from an Apple II to a Mac/Lisa, install the Mac/Lisa firmware first while the board is still connected to the Apple II, and then move the board to the new computer after the firmware update is complete.

If a Model A Emu board running the Apple II firmware is inadvertently connected to a Mac or Lisa, then both the Emu and the computer will try to output on this same pin, which may cause damage. The Apple II firmware modifies one interface pin from an input to an output. If a Model A Emu board running the Apple II firmware is connected to a Mac or Lisa, it may cause damage.
