Radius Pivot Monitor

Author	Topic
Clinton Full Member USA 700 Posts	Posted - 17 Oct 2002 : 23:19:43 I was wondering, do Pivot Monitors require their own proprietary cards, or is it just software? I know that there are control panels out there for said pivot, but do they work in conjunction with the pivot card? thanks CCC Lieutennant Commander (Pronounced Leftennant) Guardian of Obsolete Equipment 68k Macs Rescued: 2 Pluses, a 512KE, a Classic II, and a Quadra 650 Contraband rescued: Power Computing PowerBase 200, and a PM 8600/300 Apple // series rescued: Apple //e

You'll find that the software will (mostly) only work with the OS specified - System 7.5.x for most control panels and such. I couldn't get it working under OS8 cheers Flash! 68k ParaMedic

I couldn't get it working under OS8 Don't bet on it, there were several different Pivot models with wildly different requirements. Some did run off mobo video and some did not, depending on the model. I have the product compatability sheets somewhere, but I put them away in one of my boxes and I haven't looked for them yet. A model # for the Pivot in question would be helpful if info is required. jt ™. Trash Hauler: call sign: eight-ball C.O. AC-130H SpecOps 68kMLAAF

Trash80toG-4 NIGHT STALKER USA 2899 Posts	Posted - 25 Oct 2002 : 08:02:11 Dunno about Pivoting Support, you've aroused my curiosity and I ran across my Radius Info Cache yesterday so I posted a lot of the info I have handy. Is the RadiusVintage info still available online somewhere? Their site is long gone AFAIK, I'd LOVE to complete my collection of info on Radius products. Info from Radius Product Overview page 3, March 1993 Built-in Video support listings for three Pivot Models listed in chart, with annotations at the bottom from the product description info relating to built-in video support, the meaning is unclear to me, ATM. Certain Radius cards are highlighted as Landscape or Portrait only with no notations for built-in video either way, do these things use ADB or sense lines to send orientation info to the control panel? Many are footnoted that add'l VRAM might be required for operation. My answerline document re the LC PDS interface states that the Pivot does not support the 6XX series. curses the hardware demons of the ancient world PrecisionColor 0356 Pivot Display 8 bit unless noted otherwise: 950 ----------------------up to 24 bit! 900 ----------------------up to 24 bit! 800 --------up to 16 bit 700 ----------------------up to 24 bit! 650 --------up to 16 bit 610 --------up to 16 bit LCIII PowerBook 180 PowerBook 165c PowerBook 160 Duo 230 w/Dock or MiniDock Duo 210 w/Dock or MiniDock "Soft Pivot Included for built-in video configurations.

As somebody else commented, it is probably model dependent. Alas, I sold the beast to buy a Q950. II2II Intelligence officer in training.
