    What's a good replacement for 3.6V 1/2AA PRAM battery?

    I took 2 AA batteries and soldered one of these holders to the outside of the clamps of the original holder: https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B07TB4HDYH/ref=zg_bs_18007817011_13 Fixed the new holder somewhere inside the SE with a strap.

    Radius Pivot SE/30, large memory + Mode 32 - no mouse cursor

    I sadly have to report, that the 32 bit clean rom did not solve my problem of a freezing mouse cursor with a radius pivot SE/30 grayscale and more than 8 MB RAM. If the 2nd (pivot) screen is the main dektop I lose the cursor right after startup. With the SE/30 crt as the main screen it usually...

    Radius Pivot SE/30, large memory + Mode 32 - no mouse cursor

    Thanks cheesestraws, will do and then get back here to report, if this solves the paralyzed mouse cursor issue. I think it will take 2-3 weeks for the rom to ship from the US, it took at least that long for the 16 MB ram simms.

    Radius Pivot SE/30, large memory + Mode 32 - no mouse cursor

    Many thanks to both of you! I just ordered the systen ROM simm @BadGoldEagle recommended. Maybe you can give me a hint reg the small hack to some system files sometime or maybe this is described in the shipment.

    Radius Pivot SE/30, large memory + Mode 32 - no mouse cursor

    It is this Radius Pivot SE/30 Display with upgraded VRAM (not on the pic).

    Radius Pivot SE/30, large memory + Mode 32 - no mouse cursor

    Come on guys, this radius pivot setup with red and green connected to the blue line in order to get a greyscale picture on a vga TFT display is just a copy cat of numerous simliar configurations others posted here previously like @Bolleor @BadGoldEagle. None of you ever booted up his Mac with...

    What do I need to know about RAM for my SE/30?

    Remember the wobbling ram simms I recommended from here: https://www.amazon.com/-/de/gp/product/B00FAYV3NO Gary, the dealer behind the account named mally, sent me 3 replacements, all wobblers, too. By then he had realized, that the boards were not thick enough, and made his supplier produce...

    Radius Pivot SE/30, large memory + Mode 32 - no mouse cursor

    So I installed 68 MB (4x16 and 4x1) on my SE/30 with the Radius Pivot 4bit grayscale and now I loose the mouse cursor movement (click still possible), if enable 32 bit RAM access in the Mode 32 extension. Without the 2nd display connected everything works fine. The machine works also fine, if I...

    New SE and Miniscribe deep-dive

    No, sorry, I could not solve it because the next day my drive was dead again, most likely because the heads were magnetically „glued“ to the disk and the motor is to weak to spin the drive up. There is no practical fix for this I guess.

    My screen is blue (Radius Pivot SE/30)

    If you look at this post of bigmessowires‘ and his following one in the same thread, you will find that he was stuck with the 1152 resolution at a time and finally solved this with a) the right drivers and b) grounding the right sense pins of his card. So I thought the same should be possible...

    My screen is blue (Radius Pivot SE/30)

    Well, I think the original resolution of the radius pivot SE 30 grayscale is 640x864/864x640. The Eizo Flexscan L885 in the pic has a native resolution of 1600x1200 px.

    My screen is blue (Radius Pivot SE/30)

    But no matter which dip switches I choose on my vga adapter, I always end up with a resolution of 1152x864 like Bolle. Is that due to a lack of radius drivers or a problem with the vga adapter?

    My screen is blue (Radius Pivot SE/30)

    Thank you so much for digging out that old thread! Will browse/read through it more thoroughly in the next couple of days. From what I have read so far I understand that ar least some radius software is needed in order to leave the 1152x640 resolution and get 640x864 or 864x640. Do you have an...

    My screen is blue (Radius Pivot SE/30)

    Last night I tested connecting sense0 and sense1 (pin 4 and 7) with no effect at all. So can we conclude, that only connected to an original Radius pivot monitor the monitor can do it's magic during rotation on some sense lines on the card (which we do not know) and there is no way, to simulate...

    My screen is blue (Radius Pivot SE/30)

    If this (above) is the pivot SE 30 pinout, then l connecting 4 + 10 like with the Pivot IIsi (below, quoted from the above mentioned WTB: Radius Pivot IIsi cable thread) is obviously nonsense, since with the Radius pivot SE 30 only 4 is sense and 10 is 69hz vsync. But what if I were to...
