Ok, so I've had some time to play with this new VM300. It looks like it might not be that difficult to do. I've used Fiddler and Postman to probe and play around with the commands it will accept. Here's what I have so far: Login: HTTP POST /goform/login...

Update - I was able to replace it with the new one that came in, but unfortunately the problem still persists, although much lighter. Dang! It must be juuuust on the edge, just like @apm was suggesting. Of course, removing the pivot makes it go away completely. Is there anything else I should...

That is what I'm going to do... The heat sink didn't work for squat! Got one on order from digi-key. This one will work.. right? I'm also just hoping that the chip is simply faulty. ... I would think that it is a faulty chip, since even in the lighter test one or two columns look like they are...

Yeah. It's the 8-Bit shift register UE8. Check this out!! @Bolle @techknight @apm

Hey everyone, I'm back with updates! It's UE8, I'm pretty sure. -With the logic board removed and the cables extended, I ran it for close to two hours and the artifacting was extremely light, like in the first picture I posted earlier. (Points toward the heat issue) -Placed a piece of paper...

@Bolle That makes sense. Guess I need to install some liquid-cooling  :p I'll freeze the CPU first in case we can root it out. The only other thing to consider is that -12V rail being at ~-9.8V.. Not sure what that powers or if it matters. I'd figure the 5V lines are all we need to consider.

@Bolle But would that explain why the artifacts are not present after a ~20 minute cool-down period??

@apm Awesome info! Thank you! I am going to pursue the cooling method for now and report back. My ATX connector extension cables came in, hopefully I will have some time to set it up and test this week!

@joethezombie Ok, thanks!

Is there an easy way to obtain an extension cable for the analog board connector so that I can run it on its side with the logic board laying flat? I think I'm going to try the air duster approach and cool components one-by-one.

Thanks, I had no trouble finding the Logic Board cap list but the A/B and PSU proved more of a challenge so I figured I'd make a quick solution more accessible!

Something else I noticed: the white also flows over the allowable screen space on the right. Could this provide some additional insight to someone who knows the hardware better than I? Edit: Also, I guess is does get worse after more than an hour! I had it to the point where the columns are...

Update- -I ran the machine for an hour without the MacCon and Radius, no artifacts whatsoever.  -After running for a hour, I plugged both the cards in and the artifacts are back. (<1 min turned off) -Removed the Pivot, running only the MacCon, there are no artifacts. -Installed another...

@Bolle I am actually not using it yet, still on the hunt for an accelerator. (I knew that one day I will find one so I didn't want to miss out on buying some from you! ..unfortunately I just missed out on this one.. had auctionsniper set too low..)  For now, the Pivot is plugged into the 90...

That definitely could be. Especially if a region of the RAM used as VRam. Is it or is there a standalone chip? (I replaced the original RAM with some newer 60ns simms I had.)

Hi everyone, I've had a bit of issues with the internal video on my SE/30. (The SE/30 has a Radius Color Pivot and an Asante MacCon installed.) After about ten minutes of use, pixel artifacts/snow begins to appear on the screen. Over the course of an hour they get worse and worse, maxing out at...

Hey everyone, Just recapped the Analog Board and the Sony PSU in my SE/30 and thought I would share the parts list as a digi-key link for anyone that is getting ready to do the same. Sony CR-44 PSU: http://www.digikey.com/short/qpfbhh Analog Board: http://www.digikey.com/short/qpfb2f

@ants Unfortunately that didn't work. No LED's light up at all  :scrambled:  but that's good to know! Thanks! Ordered a two more today, should have em on hand in a week or two, I'll see what I can do then. Also, yeah, mucking with the HTTP reqs might be messy, but you never know....

@ants Nice! My VM300 somehow bit the dust.. Probably ESD when I was playing with it. When I get another I'll see if I can figure out some of the telnet commands! This is all I can find for the telnet info... the fiddler screenshots are helpful.  http://www.vonets.com/download/VM300/Operation...

Love it! I'm going to do the same to my Mystic and SE/30... Already have one vonets in-hand.. @ants ...Any chance you are still working on the menu bar WiFi extension for Mac OS 7/8? It would be amazing if there was a WiFi menu like on modern Macs.. I would try to make one myself but I haven't...
