FDD bay VST Technologies AC adapter/PSU outta the 190/5300 hacks drawer. Needs work, but in looking at it, I realized that FDD bays in general might be a great spot to put the USB-C power supply hack? In earlier 'Books w/SCSI only and fixed drives, you'd need to hardwire the power connection...

Wow! So nice. How well does it fit the bezel? Larger than and trimmed edges to fit? Kudos for doing something useful in the floppy bay, few think of that. Haven't seen that wedge since a French TeleCom made a PB100 series machine wireless. Also, VST Technologies did an AC adapter for the FDD...

Wasted a little bit of money on inter-board connector experimentation and switched gears: Instead of adding MagicBus to the Performer, there's room to put Performer AND the Radius FPD/SE on the same full size SE Expansion Card! Since VGAtoHDMI works just fine for FPD resolution, the only...

That's almost certainly a precursor to the Killy Klip? - so why on Earth is there a second 68000 in the mix? - Plenty of ROM on there to use it as a CPU? - No dedicated RAM as on the Atto Silicon Express II? - Is there enough VRAM on the card to be shared with the 68000 along with Frame Buffer...

Once the connector setup is worked out, with or without backward compatibility with the Radius cards, it's on to the next step. As proposed upthread: rotation of the image appears to be the most serious obstacle, but my concept for column stripping of the frame buffer appears to be as simple...

FPD/SE bits are beginning to come together. Ordered up male and female header interconnect parts today for more experimentation. Here's what I've played around with so far: First set of single inline sockets arrived from China. They don't mesh onto the Radius FPD connector's headers, which...

Very strange, that looks like the Killy Klip setup. If so it would clip onto the 68000 on the mobo? There were ceramic and plastic packaged CPUs, one of which was problematic for using a Killy Klip. I needed to solder header pins to the legs of the 68000 when I installed a NewLife board. Looks...

Absolutely positively! :) That would very much be appreciated. I've shifted my focus to the SE FPD Card as that's the only one I have in hand.. Magic Bus connectors have been said to be unobtanium, but not at all worried about that. My clone project is aimed at interfacing with a simplified...

Waiting for the page break to post an illustration of my column stripping approach to image rotation. AI8 playtime! :D

Just pulled the trigger on that 15" panel. Gotta find the right controller. Looks like backlight cable power is needed? Design study/mockup of FPD enclosure is right up my alley. Printing a case and cobbling the bits together is well beyond the scope of this project however. Scaling the image...

I've been pondering this TTL input spinoff from the RGBtoHDMI project. It keeps everything in the digital realm. https://texelec.com/product/rgbtohdmi-ttl/ Have you got linkage to the original RGBtoHDMI project handy? To bad this stuff is so very, very far above my pay grade. 😦 edit: I think...

Scaling the image for fit an inexpensive, used 20" 1280x1024 panel would be the way to go. Dunno if the Extron is up to that. It's been a long time since a messed with it, baby steps. Anybody out there interested in implementing rotation along the lines of what I illustrated above? edited typo

1:1 with customized cropping would be the Extron Scaler's stock in trade. I can set the margins around the FPD output however I want. If such can be handled via SBC magic so much the better, but I'm thinking in terms of what I might be able to do with hardware in hand at this point.

Yep, 10" tablet size panels are much too small to work out at all for me. 15" 1024x768 panels might be the ticket with the right frame buffer tomfoolery. Trying hard not to pull the trigger on this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/352760054545 Gotta get someone involved who can pull together the...

Interesting, bare panel/controller or full on display? I've been thinking inexpensive/obsolescent displays. That's exactly what I've been thinking. But figured they're older displays lacking DVI input? Hoping scaling can be worked out for the likes of my 19"/20" HP and Dell displays. Fearing...

Thanks for chiming in! I wind up talking to myself in these threads. :( As you'll see below (hopefully) the scanline output orientation of Radius' FPD boards is unsuitable for using a standard LCD. I've found only exceedingly expensive solutions for the rotation of Hi Definition Video and the...

Looks like my rotation concept proved: https://blog.1bitrainbow.com/pico-mac-nano/ The LCD The final size was always going to be determined by the LCD panel which needed to be able to display the 512px x 342px screen buffer. I eventually settled on the smallest 640x480px LCD I could find at a...

@Bolle, have you had a chance to play with that new toy yet?
