    Back onto the IP of this thread: I have hi res shots of five cards and a medium res shot of another so far. If anyone has one of these cards, and especially the daughtercards to add some pics to the collection it would be greatly appreciated. Need these: Spectrum/24 v.___ - undocumented - Rev.B...

    Suggestion again would be to post a screen shot of the SuperVideo inputs window with SVGA timings and freq of oscillator I can order up for parallel testing?

    Thanks, eventually some of this stuff will sink in. It sounded to me like you were trying to fix the out of spec dot clock input to the Controller from a "standard" oscillator by tweaking the remainder of the timings? Is the CRT you're feeding a multiple fixed resolution display as opposed to a...

    Square is s but a special case, an equilateral rectangle. 🙃 Be sure to skew Oscar around to face front and back somewhere in his dance routine so he can Walk Like an Egyptian. ;)

    Was going off the early step definition in the manual/integrating hazy memories of gorgonops/eudimorphodon saying that freq/pixel clock was the baseline from which the remainder of the inputs for SuperVideo would be based? I still haven't looked at the Spec Sheet @Bolle posted. What's an...

    Why are you not considering a clock replacement for a workable frequency? Seems like you're fighting with one hand tied behind your back? Manual for SpecA says you can use freq 2x the /8 divider range (16MHx-52MHz) by using the /16 divider (52MHz-104MHz). WAG there would be that a better match...

    OOPSIE!! ;) Neophyte here, definitely not gonna be able to spot anything amiss or add anything at the computation level. Could you post a screenshot of the SuperVideo inputs window with the relevant values for SVGA/60Hz in place so I can just plug 'em in and try it? By my read of the manual...

    A takky Mac…..

    Drawing above is for a custom PCB setup. The tentacles dangling represent the wires from lopped off full length cables. Wires to be soldered into their respective thruholes on the adapter board sitting in place of the Compact Logic Board. edit: doubtful, but you might be able to source panel...

    Found one! Should be easy enough to model a 4x2 IDC DIP adapter to edgecard kluge, no?

    A takky Mac…..

    Was that the last to be identified or had you found it already? Haven't got one handy, but there's an offset edge card (harness end on CD-ROM bar) to CD pins adapter I couldn't find in the exploded diagrams. Have you removed the CD Adapter from the harness or did you plug SCSI and power cables...

    Datasheets sound great. I have a good selection for my Radius collection, but nothing on SuperMac AFAIK. Thanks @jasa1063 that makes makes the 5 pics for the 15 entries attached in about ten hours! Too tired today, but I'll scope out the boards and update the data points.

    A takky Mac…..

    Couldn't find the reference about a mystery cable on your harness. Unless you've identified it, "extra" cable ought to be the TV Tuner interface I think.

    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    Nice, was wondering if it was color because the neck seems soooo long for a 5" tube. I can estimate from that shot, but a straight-on, full profile of front bezel and tube I can use as a template in AI to figure out how well the BackPaq Camo thing might work out. Looks promising! ;) Edit: was...

    The Macintosh Minus - pi-powered mini Mac Plus clone with 5" CRT display

    Color display? Still need length of tube from mounting bracket to rear of cap and cap's height above centerline of tube. Profile pic of display would be appreciated. Oblique views too if possible.

    Couldn't find a general "Peripherals" forum, is there one and should this be moved there? I think it's time to flesh out what information is available on LEM and wherever else I can dredge it up. Tried to group by series rather than alphabetically. Spectrum/24 v. 1.0 - undocumented - Rev.A...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    A dolly at that far beliow normal price point that's not available in stores OR online smacks of bait-n-switch to me. If not, get one for the wheels and put 'em on a simple storage box to raise the top of the TV to just below the lowest shelf. Still putting forward the suggestion for...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    I'd been wondering why that pile of toys on the couch looks so familiar . . . looks over at heap of techtoys on the futon. :oops: KISS? You got it. One immediate tweak: bolt up a pegboard panel to the side of your shelf unit above worktop level with frame(s) sunk between vertical and...
