Sorry, but no.  UniPress sells UNIX for the Lisa *alone*.  A MacXL has a
"screen fix" that is kinda like "fixing" an animal ==> it's no longer the
same as it was!  This fix consists of a new set of ROMS, and altering the
pixel size (to make them square).  This "fix" also so alters the machine that 
it can no longer function as a Lisa (and no longer run UNIX).  

So beware!  Make sure that the XL you purchase is actually a Lisa, and doesn't
have this "fix" (unless you *never* plan to use it as a Lisa, in which case
you aren't interested in running UNIX on it, and probably hit "n" when you
saw the title).
