    630 mini?

    Cassie, 'nuf said. ;)

    630 mini?

    Makes perfect sense to me, but they tell me I'm not right. The identical Quadra 700 triplets didn't stay stock for very long, but for the nicest which is bone stock. Gotta look up the timeline. Quadra 700/7100/G3 - complete and working, awaits plastic welding to fill in the gaps in its...

    630 mini?

    Given that statement, I wouldn't worry about the width after all. That's an SE/30 project and the Design Language isn't Snow White. It's the Apple Design (group?) Espresso Design Language that was an intentional break from Hartmutter's influence. IOW & IIRC post HSteveness' reign of terror...

    Sun Type 4 Keyboard.

    I think I have a gray one that's only missing some KeyCaps, but need to convert it to ADB or USB.

    630 mini?

    Fabulous! :D I love that knuckludraggin' hacker approach for some reason. :rolleyes: I love the maniac's work, vHacks are one of the many reasons she's the official muse of the 68KMLA. When I'm not cribbing from her work I'm going back to the Hartmutter originals. If you add the lower corner...

    Sun Type 4 Keyboard.

    Nice board, but it's the wrong color for what I need. Has to match my Sun ZFP case which is gray IIRC?

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Indeed, but vertical connector is the Right Angle, you'll be pointing it Wrong Angle via the connector swap. ;)

    Sun Type 4 Keyboard.

    Got Pics?

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    This is starting to feel like I may be hijacking your thread? Trying to document my suggestions for you project, hope you don't mind? edit: for SPAM reduction, I'll move the RCPII/IIsi info and hacking tangent to its own thread and link it here. ;)

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Yes, @Bolle and two other wizards are working on a PDS GS Card to drive the Micron GS neck board. Since you're familiar with it, will the Extron drive your 1024x768 LCD? If so, just about any VidCard would work. The Radius Color Pivot II/IIsi outputting its 16" best resolution would be a great...

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Some of the guys are working on a GS solution already: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/building-an-internal-grayscale-card-for-the-se-30.39910/ SE/30 form factor SuperMac VidCard I snagged with dedicated IIsi adapter is missing from that list: Haven't tested it in the SE/30 yet, but...

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Thanks for running down and listing specific notations in the documentation. My observation was based on my ingrained Neanderthaler approach to hacking. Pull the offending Video ROM and test results with and without VidCard. Determined what you just quoted from general understanding of the...

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    I'd not worry about the reflections, Laptops and Displays have had high gloss LCD finishes that it would look perfectly fine today, if not period correct.

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    If you're doing an SE/30 board, definitely be on the lookout for a VidCard to run the LCD at a higher resolution. If you pull the Video ROM the SE/30 will have no idea onboard video exists. Video ROM is the functional equivalent of the VidCard's Declaration ROM and polled by Slot Manager at...

    Memory Morass: Jailbreaking the Discrete IC Bank A limitations Apple imposed on all but top tier Macs + SimmSpender 3.0

    IIsi: soldered Bank A to high capacity 72pin SIMM conversion study: Well that pretty much covers funneling soldered Bank A ICs into a 72pin SIMM pinout. Color coding is a bit off with gray Data lines on SIMM meant to be connected to purple Data lines on the DRAM ICs...

    Converting from CRT to LCD and updating video output in Compact Macs

    Are you driving the LCD from the OEM mobo, an expansion card sans CRT, putting in a replacement mobo and high res LCD?

    Memory Morass: Jailbreaking the Discrete IC Bank A limitations Apple imposed on all but top tier Macs + SimmSpender 3.0

    Been hacking away at limitations of the IIsi for many years and it's time to revisit that project and expand it to other Macs: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/simmspender%E2%84%A2-iisi-memory-expansion-hack-reboot.29912/#post-327163 LCIII memory expansion now underway by @max1zzz...

    Any Thoughts on this "Prototype" 6360?

    Booted with or without Video? If without, have you got a 7" PCI VidCard? In any event, hook it up to a MultiSync VGA Panel.

    Any Thoughts on this "Prototype" 6360?

    Appears to be an in between shipping CPU clock rate CPU, strange.

    Breaking the 36MB RAM limit on the LCIII

    Got it, memory map must be addressing, testing and reporting reporting on it in a specialized bank? Maybe that's why it appears you've found five banks instead of four?
