After 7 years and dozens of various acquisitions, I've finally got a Micron Xceed! Pretty excited about getting it running. It came from a rusted SE/30 from eBay. I believe this is a Color 30 model.
The only damage is some rusting on the PDS connector. After some toothbrush cleaning it looks decent.
The card shows up in TattleTech (I think, below is what I see) when running in a good SE/30 and not plugged into a monitor. I've run into some trouble with video out, which may that my external monitor finally gave out, or perhaps it outputs at a resolution my DB15->VGA adapter can't handle. When plugged into video out, the main SE/30 screen shows squared edges, a sign that its moved the primary video to external monitor. Other video cards like the RasterOps Color Board 108+SE/30 I have output at fixed frequencies which this monitor can't handle. Gamba's specs table isn't clear on whether 640x480 is fixed (like at 67hz) or not. Anyone know?
Anyway, the SE/30 it came from is definitely toast. Check out this logic board:
The Xceed didn't come with the greyscale kit, so I'm now looking for that. Maybe @Bolle has some ideas, given I spotted a beautiful one on a white board he made recently
