Very nice, especially for a first haul! Cube I can do without, but those Graphite twins would be what's missing from my collection. My DA does nicely though, too many Macs on hand. :rolleyes: Which G3 'Book did you snag?

Nice find! I lucked into a bargain basement Thunder IV GX 1600 that was mis-listed on eBay. Getting one in a Q650 is pretty sweet. What other cards were in there?

The entire power management system is different between those models. You can replace the 190's horrific trackpad with the lovely Duo TrackBall assembly because there's clearance available underneath evil pad, whereas the 5300 is filled to the brim of that cubic with the larger power kluge. One...

Wayyyback in the day, some compatible chips became available. Folks at the MLA snapped them up, keen on doing something silly with them like installing AUx or some such. Try searching there. Might even be as old as the Snitz Archive?

Sorry about the noob inquiries, but would appreciate a little input here, need a starting point for learning a bit about this stuff. ;)

Your double post is the perfect spot to drag things off tangentially! Been trying to wrap my head around rotation of the Radius FPD/SE output for my cloning project. @zigzagjoe made this suggestion: That card appears to be completely discrete or programmable logic. It would be simpler to just...

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...

TANGENT/ IF two metal rings replace yellow band on outside of knob OR flange added to place two metal rings on backside of flange face AND matching brushes placed on PCB Controller board mounted on barely visible lower corner of A/B AND mounting point for full spectrum LED provision made...

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
