1:1 with customized cropping would be the Extron Scaler's stock in trade. I can set the margins around the FPD output however I want. If such can be handled via SBC magic so much the better, but I'm thinking in terms of what I might be able to do with hardware in hand at this point.

Yep, 10" tablet size panels are much too small to work out at all for me. 15" 1024x768 panels might be the ticket with the right frame buffer tomfoolery. Trying hard not to pull the trigger on this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/352760054545 Gotta get someone involved who can pull together the...

Interesting, bare panel/controller or full on display? I've been thinking inexpensive/obsolescent displays. That's exactly what I've been thinking. But figured they're older displays lacking DVI input? Hoping scaling can be worked out for the likes of my 19"/20" HP and Dell displays. Fearing...

Thanks for chiming in! I wind up talking to myself in these threads. :( As you'll see below (hopefully) the scanline output orientation of Radius' FPD boards is unsuitable for using a standard LCD. I've found only exceedingly expensive solutions for the rotation of Hi Definition Video and the...

Looks like my rotation concept proved: https://blog.1bitrainbow.com/pico-mac-nano/ The LCD The final size was always going to be determined by the LCD panel which needed to be able to display the 512px x 342px screen buffer. I eventually settled on the smallest 640x480px LCD I could find at a...

@Bolle, have you had a chance to play with that new toy yet?

Thruhole PLCC68 sockets seem to be available. Is this what folks have been saying is unobtanium? https://www.ebay.com/itm/235031138033 There seem to be a few listings for thruhole sockets and plenty for SMT Socket listings. The sockets on Performer boards for the Classic look...

Darn, bet it would be cool in a little Macintosh carry bag on a keychain though. :p

Dis they include a security slot interface for keychain compatible display option?

It's so cute! Love it.

Don't force fit a mismatch like that. For the bolts, go with drilling and tapping for a standard thread transplant. For the black sheet metal screws, they've always bothered me, but the metal may be too thin at those points for using a bolt in like manner?

Welcome old friend and comrade!

I tend to hate it when folks give this kind of advice, but it may be time to look your retro-computing gift horse in the mouth? Unless you're needing portability (which likely can't be the case given an attempt to kluge a full on PCI card onto a laptop board?) you may be spending good money on...

Wondering about that pair of unpopulated chips again, 8Mbit ROM came in that 40pin DIP package. Wondering if they were there just in case the code couldn't be optimized to fit into the ROM that wound up on the board?

@JDW I forgot to say thanks for the questions!

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...

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...

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?

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?
