Oh hey, the non-Pro XP: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235874792062 Guess it does exist. Is that only 10” though?

I haven't seen a lot of Mac-on-Amiga topics on here, which is a shame. I've been restoring a 500 and had to give it the ShapeShifter treatment. If you're not familiar, ShapeShifter is the predecessor of both SheepShaver and Basilisk II. Unlike the latter, it's a hardware emulator but not a CPU...

Yeah, that's basically how PiStorm is setup, and you're right without the CPLD or FPGA for the bus, NuBus is probably tight at 10MHz...I forget that's slow but not THAT slow. RGBtoHDMI gets away with banging digital RGB since it's slow...but even the non-CPLD versions of those struggle with...

It’s so confusing…I constantly search the wrong one. Normally I hate a full Pi for this sort of thing but I’ve been convinced by bare metal boot times being reasonable.

I would have thought that at first but the PiStorm manages to bang the 68k bus at a pretty high freq. For memory constraints are you thinking about a pico? I’m thinking more along the lines of a zero 2.

You're basically describing QuickDraw acceleration :). (It's reversed though: the card maintains a framebuffer and the host publishes updates like "scroll this region 10 pixels left".)

Those are awesome, but eyewateringly expensive with the FPGA board. I've wondered for a bit how bad a dumb framebuffer dumping to HDMI with a bare metal Pi would be as a low-cost solution? Basically take RGBtoHDMI and modify to bang NuBus with a level shifter just enough to map framebuffer...

@dougg3 is used to being famous at this point 😛

More pictures and a ROM dump would be interesting!

I love the keycaps, what are they? Also desk mounted Extron is brilliant haha. I need to copy that idea...

I should grab a picture, but my 040 has a standard early Quadra-style heat sink (vertical fins, not a crown), with a Noctua NF-A4x10 FLX on top. Those 40x40 fans happen to align their holes such that you can basically screw right into the heat sink...they fit between two rows of fins and it...

Radius cards are generally reversed and xor'd with 0xFF on the EPROM. Undo that and you can make sense of them. This can be different on each card, in another thread folks have been discussing the Turbo 040's extra complicated scrambling to further prevent reverse engineering, for example. But...

That puts it before the 2.0 firmware for the Radius versions, and it seems to have fewer video modes at a glance, so a ROM swap is a definite upgrade.

Try a Pro X or Pro XK ROM, they should be hardware compatible across the 7", I think.

Their high end monitors have been surprisingly great for over 20 years, though they are rarer than the run of the mill stuff. I've still got a 2407WFP I bought in 2006. Other than being widescreen it's an incredible little retro monitor since it also takes composite and component too. And does...

Did you just cut the old PSU cable and wire it in?

Is that the S2134 or a smaller one? 1600x1200 (proper aspect ratio!) sounds really nice but it's soooo pricy. I've got a beat-up 5:4 LCD I found in the garbage I've been using for my retro systems and the 5:4 just makes me sad. Do you know if it does 15kHz? The specs don't look promising.

I don't think there was a non-Pro XP...they're confusingly labelled on the board. Is it a 7" board? IIRC all the non-Pros were 12". Realistically it doesn't hurt to try the Pro ROM. In most worst case scenarios it just doesn't do anything. Interesting there was a Lapis-badged version. I've...

FWIW that circuit board looks pretty cooked as well. Like it got properly hot for quite some time. I'd check for other heat damage, shorts, and make sure the fan is moving air properly, or you might have additional failures.

Interesting. I wonder if it took a checksum of the entire chip and without those zeros it wasn’t valid.
