Setting up a 4-way HDMI KVM Switch. So I need a decent card that will do at least 1440p and 1920x1200, preferably in the digital output realm. DVI to HDMI cables I have on hand for the latter. No luck finding ADC to HDMI cable or adapter, only ADC to DVI with its severe limitations so no go for...

Memorex MKS8590 https://www.generalmanual.com/Players/Memorex-MKS8590-Karaoke-Home-System.htm#gsc.tab=0 Was thinking it hard to imagine it not at least 640x480 and VGA Compatible, but at closer look, it seems to be a TV Tube? Excising display's guts from the mess in that thing in a useful...

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...

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.

Haven't got a Macintosh Classic, but the unavailable socket for its 68000 has been bothering me no end since I kicked off the Performer clone project @Bolle pulled off when I shipped my Performer to him. May be a bit ugly, but I think we might be able to pull off this bodge? 1 - methinks the...

Any links to any info at all on these cards/displays would be appreciated Eventually looking to clone FPD and TPD cards eventually, but looking at nailing down output/scaling solutions first. Had some luck with TPD/Extron Scaler in the past...

Wondering if anyone has seen AI used to crack protected programmable logic? Target chip is the PLDC20G10 on my current obsession, the Radius FPD for Mac Plus. https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data Sheets/Cypress PDFs/PLDC20G10B, PLDC20G10.pdf 24pin DIP IC provides up to 22 inputs and 10 outputs...

Need help on this one gang. I'd like to develop a circuit to use the OEM board's potentiometers to act as the four Menu Buttons on the LCD Controller's input board if possible. Don't need power switch, when system powers up the screen turns on, power down and it's off. - rotation of wheel to...

I've got a high output model/power brick on hand and a 160W PicoPSU on the way. Using the 160W unit inside a Duo case to power: RPi Compute Module 4 RPi Pico KBD Matrix to USB Converter Duo TrackBall (ADB) ATmega32u4 based TrackBall to USB Converter 10.1" 1920x1200 LCD/Controller Assumption...

HDMI0 connector has gotta go, need it for internal display use for starters. Power plug lines up perfectly in the chassis, but the HDMI connector impinges a bit on the I/O board's location on the right side of the chassis. Target/victim is a Duo 280c, removal of the connector makes the backplane...

. . . begin as it looks like our resident Rocket wizard @max1zzz has already made most of the mods for hacking the Rocket down to a 7" length assembly that will fit nicely into the (rearward extended) 3.5" HDD cubic of the SE/30! I posted this . . . . . . and he then posted his...

Was wondering about the 840AV, which got me to wondering . . . If anyone has links to the development threads for Macs that have been reverse engineered or are in the process at present, this'd be the place to put 'em!

With a little digging, I found this little sucker! It's a UMax C500 CPU 603ev 180MHz Module that I lucked into some quite some time ago. Started looking at grafting it into my 2300c some thirteen years ago, but the bus multipliers I was looking at didn't seem to give it much in the way of legs...

Dunno how many Apple 601 cards are out there or how many are in these three machines. But this looks pretty handy for pushing the limits on both sides of the dual processor setup. If there aren't enough of the PowerPump out there to go around, might make for an interesting project? Other than...

Interesting that it only occupies the CPU socket, the Cache Card adapters fill two. Snagged this beautiful, near mint machine when a member pointed it out to me on the 'Bay back when I was obsessed with all things NuBus. I did absolutely nothing with is aside from taking a pic of that morass of...

Looks like it's all stock parts with only three PALs to read? All traces appear to be on outer layers? @max1zzz whatcha think? Have you got another practical target card? It's not close to my FWB JackHammer of course. But if it can be cloned, it appears to be perfect for BlueSCSI Fast/Narrow...

Finally getting started on upgrading BabyPB, my beloved first laptop, a PowerBook 100 snagged NIB in the day. If RPi4/CM4 won't run OS9, will it run another Rainbow era Mac OS? Ubuntu distro for Pi is my backup option. Such harks back to HP_Mini/Ubuntu, uberfave, if not the greatest TechToy of...

Total Pi n00b here. I'd like to get it up and running right away while I'm visiting my long distance girlfriend. So if there's a way to just copy a file over that'd be great. If not I'll have to learn how to deal with an image right off the bat. That's be good too if there's a handy link for...

Wish list for the new year: @Melkhior you mentioned development of a whole new board based on FPGA. Reverse engineering the LCD interface is something that needs to be done for yours and all manner of Luggable upgrade projects. That said, finding a modern (HiRes Color!) replacement in Portable...

Been wondering about this on and off for a while now. Not sure FireWire interface could support such a critter? A faster external NIC (WiFi?) for slot limited PCI Macs seems worthwhile? Original concept was for TAM and 6x00 by extension. Dunno how much performance a GigaBit NIC(?) over FireWire...
