This very site does an excellent job of explaining that!

and this site does a pretty good job in English:

But basically there was:
the Lisa with two 5.25 Twiggy drives in 1983;
the Lisa II with a redesigned case front and one 3.5 400K drive in 1984 with an optional internal 10MB drive (Lisa 2/10) and;
the Mac XL, identical to the Lisa 2/10 in 1985 which included MacWorks and Macintosh software instead of Lisa.

Seen and read, thanks for the links and the explanation, it is now crystal clear!

Wasn't there only one version of XL/Serve?

I thought it became MacServe right around the time the HD20 was released in September '85 for the 512K.

For my needs, any version works! Thanks!

No but minimal 2 : version 1.0 and version 1.1

The version 1.1 do some correction on Macworks 2.0 normally it's better if you don't never use a version less than 3.0 !!! Soversion MW 2.0 cause random datas corruption on hard drive. XL/Serve 1.1 correct the bug...

Version 1.1 is my version I'll do a copy with copy 4.2

Interesting. Do you know if there was a "LisaServe" in 1984, or if it just all came together with the introduction of MacWorks & The XL in 1985? The Apple Lisa Handbook indicates that Macworks 1.0 was released in April 1984, with v2.0 in September '84 and 3.0 in Spring '85. So presumably XL/Serve 1.1 will work with MacWorks 3.0 fine.

XL/serve 1.1 was released in july 85 and of course it work with MW 3.0
