Help me identify these Mac SE accelerators

[papa_november]

This one's made by Novy Systems, but Novy Systems made a number of Mac SE accelerators and I can't pin down which one this is:



I'd love to know what the jumpers do as well.

I have no idea who made this one, there's no identifying information on the board whatsoever:



I'd love to know what the pinout of the video port is supposed to be.

Have you tested them in an SE yet? It looks like they're standard PDS cards, so there should be DeclROM Info to be glommed if you can run SlotInfo from the Gauge Series or something like TechTool Pro. I don't remember what I used on SEs and the like, it was probably SlotInfo.

Both of them are currently installed in a couple of SEs and appear to be working. I haven't installed the driver for the Novy card yet.

Where would I get a copy of SlotInfo?

I couldn't get the earlier rev, but the 2.x rev downloaded. Can't check if it's good, I'm on my netbook, nowhere near a mac.

I managed to identify the second one as the Mobius 030. That first site even has a pinout for the video port!

Great site! I especially like that SE475 Hack!

Your pinouts look to be for a TTL monitor to these VERY TIRED eyes!

Must be nice to have both of those. The only SE accelerator I have is just a CPU/FPU board that turns a SE into a SE/30 without any extra RAM.

There are probably dozens of 030 accelerator designs for the Plus and SE machines, it was the golden era of CPU upgrades before most of the accelerator companies died out in the OS 7 and Quadra era. Anyone interested in those should check out old Macuser and Macworld magazines that were out before 1994.

Have a translation! - I have a few of those 9 Inchiguresukerumonita myself

Here's the translated index page. Lots of interesting goodies there.

Yeah, rub it in! [] ]'> Those VGA Grayscale 9 inchers are in short supply on the top side of the world, except for a few still on REALLY OLD Cash Registers.

I've been trying to do this one for YEARS!

Two-stage Radius Rocket launcher

I recently lost out on two more Rockets on eBay, one had the SCSI II DaughterCard I've always wanted . . .

. . . and the other had the PhotoBooster DaughterCard!

That would have been THREE Rocket 33s along with the 50 MHz 030 under RocketShare, my VideoVision Studio Card, a Kick@$$ VidCard and a NIC stuffing my pet IIfx/CD to the gills with a SCSI II Drive Hanging off the @$$ end . . .

. . . such are life's little disappointments. :-/

Yeah I saw that pair o' Rockets too. I think defor scored the one with the Photobooster, but like you (and me) it was the SCSI booster he really wanted.
