Hi
First of all, I have no idea if that's even possible. I'm really rubbish at coding even in C or C++, so what chances do I have with hacking a Control Panel? Anyway, I could need your help (as ever) with this one (in particular)
I own a Lapis Colorserver 17-30 and a Macintosh SE/30 running SSW 7.5.3
Unfortunately, Lapis was already out of business when 7.5.3 came along in '96 so the card isn't compatible with this os.
Somebody on the web suggested that users using 7.5.x should try to hack it. He says it's hackable but hasn't really tried it I guess...
So I need an expert at Resedit to help me hack the INIT part of the CP as I'm guessing that part is the problem here: I read that this Lapis card won't initialise without the CP. There is a lot of code, most of it is hexadecimal.
Here is the link to the CP (it is named ColorServer PDS-17) : http://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/video/lapis_videocard_drivers.sea
It is not corrupted anymore. I opened it on SheepShaver and ResEdit 2.1.3.
If someone know how to hack it, that would be great. I'm even considering paying for your services as a hacker lol
