Help identifying Lapis SE/30 video card

[mmaseda]

Can someone please help me identify which Lapis video card this is. I picked it up in a SE/30 I just got locally on Facebook marketplace. I don’t want to power it up until I can replace those tantalum capacitors.

Thanks in advance,
Manuel

I wouldn't overly worry. Sometimes they fail if they've been damaged, or if they're damp, but they're mostly ok?

Identification would help if someone hadn't peeled the ROM version and board version sticker off

Looks like a ProColorServer 24 possibly?

Just in time for the holidays! A freshly recapped SE/30 with a ProColor Server Graphics card. I have a 17" silver LCD due to arrive and a DB15-HD15 convertor on the way.

Haven't powered it on yet, the box it came in seemed a tiny bit wet so I'm taking extra precautions to not fry anything when I plug it in.

The hunt for the perfect 68K mac is done on my end. Development + games + color are a go for me.

Do you have the video out cable that goes with it?

If you don't, or for anyone else who is without the cable, these are the notes I made when repairing a similar lapis card for someone. I'd do some basic checking with a multimeter before connecting anything to it, though, just in case it's different for some reason (although the connector used is identical)

Well I went ahead and plugged it in. No caps blew. Ran TattleTech and it is indeed a ProColorServer 24. Thanks again.

Fancy card - lots of colours and high resolution. Looks like there is room for more VRAM too. I think it probably has 1.5MB of VRAM as it is, but might have the capability to go to 2MB.

There's me thinking I was lucky to find an 8bit 1024*768 card
