Problem's not with pivot detection, FPD doesn't pivot. Its scan lines are 90 degrees off from LCD scan lines so it's letterboxed badly on something like a 1280x1024 Panel. A single Full Page in the middle of a Two Page Display. Played with this a bit today, plenty of board real estate available...

Very curious about the exact configuration you used to get this result on your LCD: Card? Cable? Driver? System? LCD model? Firming up that rotated output on a rotated LCD from the FPD/SE card is the dream. Vaguely wondering if Radius might have rotated the raster output of the cards when...

Very cool! Same here, I often feel more "Radius fanatic" than a Mac collector.:ROFLMAO:

Been mulling this over whilst searching connectors to replace the OEM interconnect on Radius' Accelerators and Magic Bus Card: Original notion was to to append the Magic Bus PDS extension to the Performer, but you've put a bug in my ear that might do an end run? Once the "Classic Socket" is...

You said you're only running 9.2 on your machines? ISTR there being no baseline support for multiple processors under OS9. Very low confidence recollection: some apps were multi-threaded for use with dual processors under OS9, maybe Photoshop or some such? IOW, will a multiprocessor upgrade do...

Nice! Never seen one before, but there may be a very good reason why. The mere thought of havinga lever that long hanging off one of my 'Books give me the willies. Looks like a SCSI connector pry bar to me. :eek:

Yep, what you said: I was thinking 1024x768 which would fit the 640x870 resolution well at 1:1 when rotated, with crop bars (77 pixels on each side and 64 pixels top and bottom) without scaling and cover up the crop bars with a bezel. Worded it badly, didn't mean to say you'd suggested a...

AHA! Now we've climbed into the stratosphere above my head! ;) At first I was hoping a takeoff on the TTL version of VGAtoHDMI might be hooked up to the cable headers on my FPD/SE. https://texelec.com/product/rgbtohdmi-ttl/ Thinking was that a 1bit batch of Portrait pixels wouldn't overtax...

Figuring a dedicated thread here might be the way to go. Hoping you Raspberry Pi boffins will join into the fray. ;) Subject's a spinoff from attempts at cloning Radius FPD Cards, but useful in supporting existing cards for which there is no acceptable method of displaying the output at...

Not sure at all, still waking up, but ISTR RocketShare requiring more than the 8MB of RocketWare? edit: dug out the manual, minimum requirement for RocketShare is only 8MB on the Rocket/4MB for host.

Yep, black adapter on left with cable on right will do the trick. Keep the length short for signal integrity, the cable on the left is far too long for any but special use cases. Apple's setup requires a passthru terminator on the end of its OEM Cables so you will wand one in DB-25 on the black...

I've not seen a Centronics 50 cable or adapter with SCSI Disk Mode capability outside the short Apple Adapter Cable. Why can't you use a DB-15 adapter with the switch setup combined with the standard DB-15 to Centronics 50 cable?

That's exactly what I thought I'd said. Apple "hobbled them with a more compact 2PCI/CSII physical setup." IOW they limited the cubic available, restricting the number of slots so the machines wouldn't rob sales from the high end, their usual strategy. I have a 6400/6500 testbed recased in a...

Lots of great new info developed in this iteration of the topic! Thanks, gang. Tower's more interesting than I'd thought. I picked up a gaggle (9 or 10) of mostly DT and a few MT models a while back. All in pretty good shape. They're a bit stripped, but have different personality cards, bezels...

LOL! That's why I asked! Noggin's shut down for the day. 🤣

Interested in finding one, scraping the info from everymac.com would be a PITA if only to find a definitive breakdown. Very interested in component level info on the boards, eg. video chipset.

Looked into LC NIC to 030 PDS conversion for @maceffects at one point. Electrically/signalwise they're very similar. I'd imagine the real difficulty would be in address space mapping differences for going in either direction.

Always wondered about possible compatibility of 630 PDS with 030 PDS in terns of getting the Radius Color Pivot II/Si up and running? most certainly a hard no on that, but worth a look? I have tre Radius Color Pivot LC with funky VRAM expansion SIMM, but haven't tried it in anything with the...

Dang, mine's not there anymore and can't think of where it might be. It had something plugged in there for power, but damfino at this point?

Thruhole PLCC68 sockets seem to be available. Is this what folks have been saying is unobtanium? https://www.ebay.com/itm/235031138033 There seem to be a few listings for thruhole sockets and plenty for SMT Socket listings. The sockets on Performer boards for the Classic look deeper, is that...
