@ZaneKaminski-I would say go with system 7.1 as well.  I also like the fact that you've included Lido 7- very useful utility!  I would say that you should also include SCSIProbe.....makes for a nice set of SCSI tools.

Hey @Alex,     I just bought an Interware Grand Vimage S 24-16S video card for my SE/30.  And while it does somewhat work right out of the box, it isn't fully functional, probably because I don't have the drivers for it.  I tried accessing the Google drive link you posted to see if the drivers...

Hey @ZaneKaminski,  Good to see that this project is up and running again!  I will also add as far as testing goes, I currently have several accelerators, including a Diimo 030, a Daystar Powercache 030 50mhz,  a Sonnet  040, and a MicroMac Carrera040.  I also have a Daystar Turbo 040, but I'm...

Hey @Bendix!     All I did was take the Red pin-which is position 2 on the board connector, and the Green pin, which is position 5 on the board connector (Counting off from right to left in this picture) and connected them to the Red pin on the VGA connector (which is pin one) and the Green pin...

I currently own two of these cards and I wondered, what would happen if you populate the other memory slots?  So I tracked down some Micron 24-pin memory chips on eBay, and.....voila!  For your extra memory (and money), you get a glorious 16 shades of grey!   I was hoping for 256, but I guess 16...

Also @techknight-After the difficulty that I had replacing the one chip, I've decided to wait on replacing the others until I get a de-soldering gun.  Just can't get my hot tweezers in there, and for some reason I wasn't having much luck this time using solder wick and my one-shot solder sucker.

@Bolle - I did.  And it appears that it's giving me the same wonky readings.  Only question is where would I get new memory chips for this.  Their are 16 of them on the board for what I would assume is a total of 1024k, so each chip must be 64k?   There are these on eBay, but while they are in...

I tested out the 574 chips and found one that had some odd resistance readings on one of the inputs.  So i bought some new old stock SN74ALS574BN chips, and when I finally got them in on Saturday, I soldered one in place of the one I thought was bad.  Unfortunately, it didn't work :( The...

@Franklinstein-The problem seems to be consistent at any color setting or bit depth.  As for resolution, the card only has one output- good old 640 x 480 VGA.

Thanks @Bolle!  Also, I have a dumb question:  what is the easiest way to test them (I'm assuming while it's running in the computer)?  I currently don't have an oscilloscope (But I'm planning on buying one) but i do have a very nice fluke multi-tester.

Thanks @Bolle.   I'll take a look for the schematic that you posted.  A bad Mux.....that makes sense.  Hopefully that's it, and not one of the VRAM chips.

Funny seeing this this-I just got done recapping one of my Apple CD 300's!  Listening to a Led Zeppelin CD with it right now.  With mine, the caps were so bad that electrolytic goop was underneath and around each one that I took off of the board.    I second @superjer2000-a good recapp is...

Hello everyone,     As I sit here in my electronics room/Zoom office, I figured I'd ask a question.  I have a Micron Xceed 306 video card that I bought off of eBay about a month ago.  The good news is that it somewhat works; but that's the bad news as well!       Half of the displayed video...

@SE30_Neal-Are you looking for some more screen realestate?  It's not much, but I do have a Radius pivot SE/30 card that I did the modification to so that it can at least display in 4 color/shades of Grey.  The only problem with it, of course, is that it scrunches the video a bit.  PM me if...

@techknight- I'm honestly not sure.  But as I've replace most of the parts that supply power to different parts of the board, I'm hoping that it just keeps working.  So far, so good! @SE30_Neal-Where I live in the U.S. is definitely similar to the U.K.  I live in the five college area in...

@SE30_Neal  Thanks!  I use this for a bunch of stuff as well, including writing, and even Photoshop (It will run Photshop 4 with reasonable speed, especially with the 128mb of RAM).  And all of the extra screen real estate is nice, especially if I'm working on an excel spreadsheet.  My only...

@SE30_Neal Thanks!  And it's nice having all of that screen real estate too 8)

Pretty much process of elimination.  I have to admit that the issue with the inductor was my own fault...but more on that in a bit.  The main part that failed was the 50mhz clock, which was my original thought (that one of the clocks was bad).  But I wasn't sure, so I replaced the transistors...

L1, right below the 50mhz chip. 

Finally figured it out the other week-had an inductor that also needed replacing.  It's nice to have the card up and running again, at a resolution of 1024 X 768 in glorious 256 shades of grey:
