Guess the NuBus card

[slomacuser]

Does anyone have info about this card? What was used for?

 

[finkmac]

dual serial card? dump the ROM and check for details

Some kind of Black and white video card.

Use tattletech to see what it reports as. There isn't much to go on. The big chip is an FPGA or a CPLD, so there isn't really any branding visible other than the ROM name, which isn't something obvious.

Looks like.

Is there anything written on the back @slomacuser?

 

[stepleton]

I note a telltale MICRO CONV custom IC, which @finkmac observed on a different board on this thread.

As said on fb, I would say that it is a NuBUS version of Memory Plus video cards as it ressemble to my MODAM SE PDS one :

EDIT: sorry, same link as @stepleton ’s

 

[slomacuser]

Looks like you were right

Glad to know I’m almost jealous now
If you need drivers, you can try the one I backed up on the garden

 

[slomacuser]

So if I connect it to standard apple monitor would it work?

 

[zefrenchtoon]

Maybe, hence the DA-15 connector if I’m not wrong.

About the driver, it seems to manage 15 and 21" but not 19.

Well it does not work with apple 13” monitor. Anyway If any interested in this card I can sell it, I do not need it as I have supermac ones…

Yeah, it is probably fixed timings for a specific 19" monitor. You might have better luck with a late model multisync CRT or very flexible LCD (some ViewSonics and HPs will work with just about any signal).

Does it show the monitor resolution in TattleTech or Monitors?

Also, as said @finkmac you should dump the ROM to extend this collection and enhance these tools:

Thread 'Calling all ROMs! Collecting DeclROM data'

Dec 3, 2023

In order to flesh out device support in my DeclROM parser (ROM Fiend: A DeclROM, Extended DeclROM, and System ROM parser), I'm interested in testing and validating any and all DeclROMs you have!

For testing I've already collected quite a few, but I'm interested in unique versions not already posted on these forums, or any unique cards you might have.

I think it might be interesting to create a database of cards, scraped from the DeclROM data. But first we need the ROMs!

What I've tested and validated so far (including a few homebrew ROMs):

well then I need a guide for dummies as I am not familiar with extracting ROMs

Try SlotsGrab or SlotsMem from https://github.com/joevt/SlotsDump
They create a file or files in the same directory as the app so maybe rename them after they are created so you know where or when they came from.

So I go to Releases and downloaded the ZIP, I opened on Basilisk and there is no classic app? I have to compile it? I do not have programmers tools...

The zip opens on modern macOS, then you transfer it to your old Mac.
