That classic case is fantastic. I might be able to use that and modify the model to work with an SE. The main thing looks like that lack of CRT mounts and I would have to adapt the bottom to better match the logic board and chassis of an SE.
I'm working on making props for a film and we've been collecting SE and SE/30 cases for that, but it was just decided some minor modifications would be needed to make the cases a bit more bespoke for the film.
It would be a lot easier for us to 3D print new face plates for our machines instead...
I stumbled across this on ebay today. I'm sure it doesn't work with an SE/30 normally, but I do wonder if is could be used in some janky way like with dupont wires.

I've dumped the following ROMs and added the files to this post for anyone who might want them.
V4.1F ROMs for the SE Full Page Display card
V3.0 ROMs for the SE Two Page Display card
V3.3 ROMs for the SE Two Page Display card
V2.1 ROMs for the SE Accelerator 16/25 (these were specifically from...
It's certainly something you can do and shouldn't effect anything when done properly, but you will want to be very comfortable desoldering and resoldering if you want to do this.
I would also highly recommend a desoldering gun so help with the process.
People have socketed CPUs on the SE and...
Looks like MPD stands for Macintosh Portrait Display. This card was meant to drive the official Apple Portrait monitors and not the Radius monitors.
Retrotechnology.com lists these two models as compatible:
M0404 (Rev. A), Macintosh Portrait Display, 13W3 one coax pin - 640 X 870...
I'm not to familiar with the exact frequency these cards output, but from what I have read pretty much any similar modern LCD display should work.
As for what your card is, I honestly have no idea. Would you be able to share some photos of it? I wonder if it's just a general video card and...
Okay! So I did some testing tonight. It looks like this driver works with a Magic Bus Two Page Display card that has v3.3 ROMs. I also tested it with another Magic Bus card with v3.0 ROMs and didn't get any output like the v3.3 card, so I'm guessing I would need an even older driver.
Also...
So I decided to just see what happens with the SE/30 board that can't boot properly. I get stuck at the question mark floppy screen, but I can move the mouse normally.
I added the Bolle adapter, the Turbo040, 4x1mb of RAM, and the stock SE/30 ROM to the damaged board and booted.
To my...
So I tried with 4x1mb of RAM with no luck either. Seems to be a pretty stubborn issue.
Also, I recapped my extra SE/30 board, but it looks like that has some other issues at hand. The boot chime is slow and distorted and it seems like it refuses to recognize any scsi devices. I'm guessing...
I won't be able to test this for a few days, but I wanted to share this driver/cdev I found on a HDD in an SE. This appears to be Version 3.0 of the Radius SE Display control panel.
This HDD was in an SE that had a TPD card featuring 3.3 ROMs which means this driver may actually work with TPD...
I know that the 9 inch green Apple "Monitor" Model G090H is pretty much a drop in replacement for a compact mac CRT. It's something I've been meaning to do myself.
I haven't tried a minimal amount of RAM yet, but I'll be sure to give that a go. I have tried two different sets of 128mb though and both sets worked in the IIci with the accelerator, but not in the SE/30.
As for the logic board, it's only been recapped. I have a second board I just got and...
Gotcha! I wasn't sure if I needed any special hardware to read the chip, but it's nice to know I don't.
As for the separate ROM thing thats just my bad writing. The Two Page Display is the name given to both the video card and the display itself that was used. I don't own the display, so I'm...
Very interesting! I'm away from my apartment right now, but I wonder if this suggests that TPD and FPD cards are in fact compatible with ROMs from eachother.
I don't have the tools to dump my ROMs, but if you could recommend some to me I'll gladly get those copied onto Macintosh Garden.
So I made a new harness that also uses the AUX power from the 4XDC TT design board and did some voltage tests.
When reading the voltage directly off the 040 card at C37 of the PDS connector I was getting a solid 4.94v which would mean that the power is now totally fine. Unfortunately the issue...
I'm not to sure if I can easily adjust the trim on the TTDesign PSU. At least I don't see anywhere to do that.
But thankfully my Turbo 040 is the later revision with 4.11 firmware.
Disregard my last voltage check.
I tested via the J12 connection on the logic board and here is what I got:
Pin 6: -4.94
Pin 7: -11.92
Pin 12: 4.75
Pin 13: 4.75
Pin 14: 11.87
So pin 12 and 13 are out of spec and should be higher. My guess was this was due to my atx extension cable...
