I probably need about 60-90 seconds of video playback. I know of MacFlim which is a great program, but unfortunately it's only compatible with 1bit black and white displays. It doesn't know how to handle color or grayscale. I'll probably end up just running some tests on my IIci later this...

Mostly I'm just trying to avoid spending more of the production budget by trying to use what I already have. But I'm also unfamiliar with going PC to these old Apple displays. I only know about going from the vintage Macs to a modern display.

I have an upcoming film where video playback on a color CRT is needed, but currently we only have Apple displays like the RGB High Resolution to use as the monitor. In hopes of avoiding the need to go out and buy another CRT with composite or RF inputs, I was wondering what kind of video...

I'm not to sure. I know that Flybacks are hard to source and expensive, but otherwise I'm not directly familiar with the classic analog board. I would take a look at the Dead Mac Scrolls book and see what it says about your symptoms.

Definitely check all the solder joints on the analog board once you are able to discharge the CRT. Look for anything that may need to be reflowed. Intermittent power could very well be a sign of cracked solder joints that don't make good or consistent contact. Next step would be to recap the...

So while progress hasn't been made, I was able to confirm that my logic board has some kind of underlying issue with it. With the wonderful help of @AEChadwick I was able to use my Bolle riser and Turbo 040 on his SE/30 without any issue at all. But that means I'm officially out of my comfort...

How do you like the LCD compared to a CRT? Does it still feel authentic to you, or is it a quality of life upgrade thats worth it? I keep going back and forth on if I like the idea of an LCD in my daily driver. The idea of native color is really nice and the extra room and lighter weight...

That classic case is fantastic. I might be able to use that and modify the model to work with an SE. The main thing looks like that lack of CRT mounts and I would have to adapt the bottom to better match the logic board and chassis of an SE.

I'm working on making props for a film and we've been collecting SE and SE/30 cases for that, but it was just decided some minor modifications would be needed to make the cases a bit more bespoke for the film. It would be a lot easier for us to 3D print new face plates for our machines instead...

I stumbled across this on ebay today. I'm sure it doesn't work with an SE/30 normally, but I do wonder if is could be used in some janky way like with dupont wires. https://ebay.us/m/Ze75Em

I've dumped the following ROMs and added the files to this post for anyone who might want them. V4.1F ROMs for the SE Full Page Display card V3.0 ROMs for the SE Two Page Display card V3.3 ROMs for the SE Two Page Display card V2.1 ROMs for the SE Accelerator 16/25 (these were specifically from...

It's certainly something you can do and shouldn't effect anything when done properly, but you will want to be very comfortable desoldering and resoldering if you want to do this. I would also highly recommend a desoldering gun so help with the process. People have socketed CPUs on the SE and...

Looks like MPD stands for Macintosh Portrait Display. This card was meant to drive the official Apple Portrait monitors and not the Radius monitors. Retrotechnology.com lists these two models as compatible: M0404 (Rev. A), Macintosh Portrait Display, 13W3 one coax pin - 640 X 870...

I'm not to familiar with the exact frequency these cards output, but from what I have read pretty much any similar modern LCD display should work. As for what your card is, I honestly have no idea. Would you be able to share some photos of it? I wonder if it's just a general video card and...

Okay! So I did some testing tonight. It looks like this driver works with a Magic Bus Two Page Display card that has v3.3 ROMs. I also tested it with another Magic Bus card with v3.0 ROMs and didn't get any output like the v3.3 card, so I'm guessing I would need an even older driver. Also...
