    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    @JDW I forgot to say thanks for the questions!

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    First, on the fly run at the Radius TPD with Extron Scaler. Managed this right out of the box, without reading the manual or any experience at all. Got SuperMac Spec8 SI running just about right with image at lower right corner of the 42" 1080p TV next to the SE over HDMI. No banding at all...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Been looking at the Radius FPD and TPD Cards for the SE for the possibility of cloning them. Started with the TPD, with its Bt9014 PLCC44 Programmable Logic Array complication. Was hoping it might be involved only with combining all the signals into just the one Mini BNC signal setup. But to no...

    Seeking Help Identifying Video Card in Mac IIcx (Restoration Project)

    Couldn't find Datasheet on the memory. Looks like they're using that EuroDIN connector for the memory card. wondering if the second one is for a DSP card?

    Seeking Help Identifying Video Card in Mac IIcx (Restoration Project)

    Definitel install and run it, standard SOP for identifying unmarked cards. Very interesting NuBus Passthru? That's almost certainly a a VidCard given the ROM legend. But does the DA-15 have standoffs for screwing down a video cable or a frame for connecting a NIC's ThickNET connector?

    Nikon D750 - at long last, THE digital camera for documentation!

    Finally got the copy stand set up and the D750/Macro Lens fired up! Cards are set up on Nylon Standoffs so traces on Solder and Component sides are on the same plane at same distance from sensor. The pics wind up in AI8 at same size, if scaled down to 25% due to lack of sufficient...

    Who's Going to VCF Swap Meet at InfoAge in June?

    Rug Rat lives in Philly, so only 80 minute drive, I'd love to go . . . just maybe?

    Who's Going to VCF Swap Meet at InfoAge in June?

    That's in Wall, NJ? When these threads pop up, locations, dates, hours and links to the event in the IP would be most helpful. ;) edit: linkage https://vcfed.org/2025/04/28/vcf-swap-meet-june-7-2025-in-wall-nj/

    ITXPlus: A ITX Sized Macintosh Plus Logicboard Reproduction

    Fabulous! Absolutely amazing achievement, max. One thing to look at. Scaling looks a bit stretched left to right to me. Is that just my perception or true? Throw a circle onscreen in a MacPaint or better. If it's elongated, scaling adjustment would remove some of the letterboxing? Not picking...

    Connect to modern monitor the RADIUS SE TPD - Two Page Display

    Sorry to be late to the party! Been searching all over the place found this and linking to this: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/radius-tpd-se-up-and-running-on-an-lcd-no-less.33403/ Never got quite all the way there, but a starting point if you're thinking of having another go at it.

    Logic Analyzer + AI = ?

    WOW! Amazing results. Imagination is racing ATM! Hope these flights of fancy make some sense: Cannot wait to ask Claude to design what he needs to use RPi/Arduino/whatever hardware and the PCB for it to run as an automated Logic Analyzer. It'd connect over USB in its reverse engineering...

    Logic Analyzer + AI = ?

    Thank you! Finally a response! Started a parallel thread on MLA to get a discussion going. Got a suggestion to use SCI-Hub to source paper, but for anything more recent than 2022 it suggests https://scinet.usda.gov/ Got links for Claude...

    Logic Analyzer + AI = ?

    https://www.webasha.com/blog/ai-in-reverse-engineering-how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-cybersecurity-malware-analysis-and-software-auditing Wondering if we can use AI to deduce and clone the operations of IWM? ITXPlus that @max1zzz is working on could really use a clone of that chip!

    Logic Analyzer + AI = ?

    Wondering if anyone has seen AI used to crack protected programmable logic? Target chip is the PLDC20G10 on my current obsession, the Radius FPD for Mac Plus. https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data Sheets/Cypress PDFs/PLDC20G10B, PLDC20G10.pdf 24pin DIP IC provides up to 22 inputs and 10 outputs...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Yep, the board in the Video is an original, factory installed card, the cards in the pics I've posted not so sure. But the 1O and 12 red herring numbers on the CPUs don't appear to mean anything? Sourcing a board to reverse engineer will be the next hardest part of the project. - GAL16V8 -...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Found a fabulous video posted in a seven year old thread searching my old posts at the MLA: As I somewhat expected, the original FPD Card/Monitor interfaced via TTL signal format! No analog bits to excise! His system appears to have been an original Radius in house upgrade with Plus' 68000...

    Radius Full Page Display for Macintosh 512ke/Plus - Cloning project possibilities?

    Was just wishing that the original card had the BNC output of my Radius TPD/SE and if this might be adapted to it. Now I'm wondering if we can lop off everything analog output related? Keeping output digitally interfaced to a scaler setup should be a lot less complicated than analog...
