    They're standard Sony remotes.

    Confused, if you're talking about the TV tuner box, just leave that out unless you still have Analog Broadcast TV. 🙃 If you're talking about the front panel control box, that can be mounted anywhere under the LCD so it's next to the HDD Activity LED. Desolder the IR receiver, bodge wire and...

    Bookmarked links are timing out for me, but there's an extensive Q&A on FPD models and compatibility to check out. radius.vintagebox.de/RadiusQA/SupportQA.html http://radius.vintagebox.de/RadiusQA/FPD64_68.html There are multiple backups online, does anyone have a working link?

    Ayup! In the original case, a board like that should have the Video/Sound Card and VGA adapter housed in the TV-Tuner Bay so it can be easily pulled out the back for adjustment. ;) @-SE40- I see you've sourced and installed the Video package, got a pic of that setup or full width view from...

    Curious Cards indeed. What the heck is up with the form factor of SimplyTV? Is that thing really supposed to fit in the pizza box LC-Q605 case or was it developed specifically for the LC520 and up? I've never seen a SuperMac product (other than the ROM deficient VideoSpigot LC) so wildly out of...

    Yep, says that, but SuperMac also sold the VideoSpigot LC, though it may have been developed elsewhere? But you're missing my point. The LC/Q605 form factor's PDS spec allows for no components topside (solder side) of the PCB. I've never before seen an LC PDS card in violation of that spec...

    I'm surprised it'll fit into the LC/605 form factors mentioned with that socketed FPU(?) and ROM on the solder side/top side of the board. I've never seen that before, don't think the lids would close. Seems like a run-of-the-mill presentation card with a CoPro Socket for the 5x0 FuglyMacs and...

    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...

    SuperMac VidCards - Timeline Development - Links

    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...

    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?

    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.

    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.
