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

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...

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

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

Got Pics?

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. ;)

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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

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...

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.

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

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?

Uniserver successfully upgraded LCIII onboard DRAM chips to double the capacity to 8MB in Bank A, that worked just fine. His hack maxed out what the IC Package supported. So I don't think there would be a ROM limitation. I'll try to search out that thread at the MLA. edit: found something...

TAM was desk candy as was that silly little Cube, meant more for for reception desktops at .com, so called professional offices and at the fashionista 57th St. hair salon where my brother was a colorist in that day. They were aimed at those into GeekChic decor in the jIvesian mold and fairly...

I've never thought much of the TAM, screen real estate's pathetic/3400c PB tiny for a desktop machine. Some frog design concepts and TAM design studies really rock though. Building an improved PseudoTAM is on my wish list, if not a Grail level gottagedone kinda thing.
