9 pin full page display. Too bad the price is out of the stratosphere.

Hello Guest! We're hosting a challenge to welcome vintage Intel macs to the MLA during the month of July! See this thread for more information. -
We've made some quality of life improvements to the Trading Post. More info here.
I think I found the monitor that'll work with my oddball SE video card...
- Thread starter olePigeon
- Start date
not to mention the ion burn in the center of the CRT indicates its ultra high hours.
Again, not all DE-9 Video connectors have the same pinouts, even when they're speaking the same language. I've do a lot of research on the early FPD series, they're not all compatible with every card within Radius' own lineup. My first guesstimate would be a NO!
I've had that FPD on my watch list for a very, VERY long time. Had I thought it might work, I'd have mentioned it to you.

I'll stop asking if you tried the thing with the resistors. ;P
Beware that the sync requirement for these FPD monitors is somewhere in the 65kHz ballpark. (I say "somewhere in" because, as Trash has already mentioned, they made these things in a bunch of slightly incompatible flavors.) An original NEC Multisync up through at least the early 3D series probably won't handle it, and support for digital input started to taper off after 1991 or so. You're going to have to do some serious research to find a monitor that will both scan high enough to possibly display the output from your FPD card *and* supports digital input directly. A quick Google doesn't immediately turn up any evidence that any Multisync supported TTL after the 3DS (Yes, that was an NEC model number before it was a Nintendo console) and that monitor is limited to 1024x768 Interlaced. (About 50 khz hsync.)

i remember these large full page displays being really popular back in the day.
my computer lab teacher in jr high school. had a G3 accelerated 9600 with one of those as the secondary monitor. Used it to publish the school newspaper, and update website code.

/gs on the fender and 1994 on the tag make that a very late model FPD, made some four years after the Pivot debut. Gotta check it out, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if that were an SVGA/HD-15 interface. Radius was in dire straits at the time, so this looks like an economy model.
A grayscale monitor and an SE VidCard don't sound like a match made in heaven to me.
