    Radius FPD/SE - Rotation Transform/HDMI Output via FPGA Project Board - CLAUDE SESSIONS

    Couldn't have explained this better mysel . . . that way at all! :ROFLMAO: Hope this makes sense to the gang here. Claude figured out the need for dual-buffering with a single frame delay before I could tell him. Maybe triple-buffering with a two frame delay will be required? Here's my...

    Radius FPD/SE - Rotation Transform/HDMI Output via FPGA Project Board - CLAUDE SESSIONS

    # Scanline Rotation Transform — Engineering Spec ## 0. Project Context: Cloning the 1986 Radius FPD (64/68Hz Board) This project clones the original 1986 Radius Full Page Display card for the Macintosh SE — specifically the first-generation **64/68Hz board**, not the incompatible...

    Radius FPD/SE - Rotation Transform/HDMI Output via FPGA Project Board - CLAUDE SESSIONS

    I'll edit in the other threads leading to this at some point. It's a Cloning Project of the 1086 first gen 64/68Hz version of Radius/SE Card. Card is built in discrete 74LS Logic and readable GAL20V8 ICs. Pre-dates the second gen card with unreadable ASICs. TPD card is infested with same, so...

    I was playing around with a USB-C AUX Power Supply that handles Data/HID on the single line. Dunno if it'll help, but here's what I cobbled together: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/tam-aux-psu-for-expansion-card-s-in-development.5318/post-47217 The AK-USBSUPPLY-C board takes power...

    Upgrading ProBook from i5 to i7, questions.

    Unsure this is the right place to ask, but setting up 4 "identical" ProBooks for three docks scattered around the place. One' ProBook's a bit borked, but its I7 is heading into my original Cherry I5 ProBook at some point. Wondering if the ProBook will "just know" that it's been upgraded from...

    What did you do to your computer today?

    I've got five near identical HP ProBooks and three dock setups scattered around the place. Installed LinuxMint in the wee hours and really like it. Loved the Ubuntu NetBook ReMix on HP_Mini, but not taking to the current version much at all. LOVING Mint so far. My quarantined FireFox...

    Very, very cool! How did you implement the display's active area shifting?

    E-Machines Big Picture Card w/Mac SE Interconnect - Cloning Possibilities?

    Pulled this Card/Adapter out of storage to see if it might be a cloning target. Found my old thread about this one over at the MLA whilst searching for info on it: https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/e-machines-big-picture-card-w-mac-se-interconnect.32335/ Does anyone over here have one or seen info...

    A Hitachi HL400 portable in the e-waste? Yes!

    Interesting, I'd thought my Toshiba T3200 was a 386SX, but alas, it also is a 286/12MHz. 4 Gray (Orange Plasma) Scales at 720x400. April 1988 release, not bad compared to the year later introduction of the Luggable with 640x400 single bit display. Last time it booted, looks like I finally...

    Apple Lisa 3d Case Project

    So that's a 3x scaling of the actual Lisa screen, was playing with those numbers over the weekend. Was looking into the same over the weekend. Can't imagine it won't fit. Cable length usually makes positioning of the controller boards very flexible. That particular controller avoids the VGA...

    So how many by how many pixels does this thing put on a 1080p screen?

    Apple Lisa 3d Case Project

    Sounds like a plan! Does the Lisa board really output 1920x1080? In that case I'd really go for the Bare Metal Prototype Lisa III as it's better than TPD resolution and much faster than the real deal in acceleration mode. Zero point in making it look like original Lisa or Lisa II, IMO. Can...

    Apple Lisa 3d Case Project

    OOPSIE! I thought it was outputting some custom resolution that fit 1080p, something on the order of 640x400 on the 'Books which is closer to 16:9. What resolution does it output? As far as the FDD goes, it looks like you might be able to install it behind a flip-down cover panel kinda like the...

    Page Buffer Capture from Radius FPD/SE VRAM Input - First baby step to cloning Card

    Just gave up on buzzing connections on my much corroded MagicBus card. Can't locate the good one. So will be setting up the copy stand, taking pics of MagicBus and working from there in Illustrator just as I'm doing with FPD. I can then verify the layout by buzzing my Radius16 Accelerator. Do...

    Apple Lisa 3d Case Project

    Nope, more like these from Radio Shack used as inspiration for a Lisa-like Lisa III makeover: Do either basic bezel form factor with a single, vertical Twiggy drive slot in place of the 8" FDD slot with the remainder of the bezel a 1080p TPD. Yout 9.& inch LCD would align nicely with the...

    Haven't looked, reverse engineering the card and equating PDS/MagicBus signals.

    Bare Metal Lisa III Prototype: Print just the metal framework & internal boxen. Feet would be hardwood as in the Lisa Prototype pics showing bare metal side panel. FDD goes vertical next to 1080p panel and innards hidden in the box. Make grooves on side panel vertical? edit: FDD or Optical...
