@zigzagjoe Does the kit support VGA external video as well? (It looks like it does from the pictures above). If you have an external monitor connected, does the internal LCD go B&W?

It does support external video, but the internal LCD will only work in mirroring mode at 640x480. Higher resolutions will only be shown if the external VGA is detected at boot.

There's only one output pipeline so the LCD must run with identical parameters to the VGA; at higher resolutions the internal LCD is disabled entirely as the LCD can't do anything productive with higher resolution signals.

I strongly approve of this project, but then I was the one who inspired it. :D

I'm amazed at how far this has come, and that @zigzagjoe was able to tackle the driver side of the equation as well as the hardware side.

Also, here's the overdue combination breakout board. It's intended to work with Bolle's riser or halkyardo's SEthernet/30 ethernet boards, and allow you to install a VGA cable as I supply with the 30Video kits. It also has an opening for a DB-15 video connector as used by vintage mac video boards. I have not been able to test the compatibility with Bolle's riser however, so YMMV.


I'd recommend white solder mask if having it made at JLC.

Unfortunately, I've heard this isn't working with Bolle's riser. I don't have one in order to troubleshoot it, however. YMMV

------------------------------------

In other news I've been working with @retro apple mods in order to adapt his acrylic "CRT" front to work with my LCD kit panel/mounting. A different LCD bracket needs to be installed on the LCD panel in order for it to work, but it's not super difficult. You can send him a DM if you're interested!

Stupid short edit threshold. The combo breaker as currently posted on github WILL NOT work with the bolle riser and SHOULD NOT BE USED unless these pins are removed (will prevent LEDs from working).
