But woo! 8-bit greyscale @ 640x870!...I think I might have broken the vertical-position adjuster thingy, though, by shoving my teeny screwdriver too far in...

and enough ranting/raving/bragging...

screenshot?

The font looks a lot like Crillee, from Star Trek/Escape Velocity. It's not exactly it, though. What's so special about it?

Are all portrait monitors greyscale?

Cool pic, thanks for sharing

Well, Apple only made that one portrait display. And yes, the maximum bit-depth it could display was 8-bit greyscale. There were other companies (Radius, among others, IIRC) who made color AND pivoting portrait displays

I have a Radius portrait display (Radius called it a "Full Page display") sitting on the floor beside me but I can't get an image on it with a NUBUS FPD II card and the radius software. Apparently, it is a 640x480 model (model 0362). Does anyone know if I have the right video card?

I didn't realize that there were other people out there who loved their portraits!

I'm a portrait fanatic along with being a Radius Lunatic!
Which is why I was able to dig out the March 1993 Radius Product Overview-5! It states that your display is a standard 640x870 Portrait resolution monitor that should run off the Built in video of the Quadras 950/900/800/700 and the Centris (and probably the later Quadra revs) 650/610, the LC III (and probably the later MicroQuadras) and the Powerbooks 180/165c/160 (and probably any later PowerBooks as well), the Duo MiniDock and Dock, as well as the built in video of the IIci and the IIsi in Black and white only. All the other systems listed will work in black and white and with the proper VRAM config they will do 256 level grayscale!

I won't go into any of the cards listed other than to say that the FPDII card is not among them, I have a feeling it only works with the original Portrait in 640x864 at a slightly different frequency, but that's just a guess, when my original FPD arrives, maybe we can do a little horse trading if my hunch is correct!

I'm going to give the Radius a try on my IIci and see if I can get the monitor to work. It would be very cool to have the Apple and Radius working side by side. The other thing I like about the portrait display is the abundance of built-in ADB ports (3!). Nothing like being able to plug in a mouse & keyboard, trackball, and graphics tablet

Let me know if you are interested in the FPD card

The video cable that I have for the Radius monitor has what looks like a VGA connector (3 rows of pins) for the end that plugs into the monitor. The Mac end of the cable looks like a serial connector (2 rows: 5 pins on the top row and 4 pins on the bottom). This matches what I have on the Nubus FPD II card but not a standard Mac video connection.

Does anyone have a cable that they would like to sell, an adapter for the cable that I have, or know of a place that still sells the proprietary Radius cable?

Thanks in advance
