With its acceleration mode and 1080p resolution, his board is obviously a Lisa III. So design a new case showing off the nice wide 1080p panel as an advanced TPD with the Lisa team sticking it to his banished Steveness, robbing the Macintosh of its DTP glory! :devilish:

Does the case really NEED to look like the original Lisa? Use Lisa as inspiration for some wide screen creativity. There are lot of other case designs from the era that could be tweaked to look more Lisa-like.Dividing the front bezel into panel surround and internal peripheral bezel could solve...

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . .

That's exactly what I was suggesting to get the largest possible parts printed. Front bezel and top are the major problems. I was looking at this printing method as a huge waste of filament with a full case print gone bad: This one is great if you can get the size you need: Filament for...

if printer cubic is a 350x350x400 it looks like I could print my bezel at full size? "The hypotenuse is the side opposite the 90° angle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, √(350²+400²) ≈ 531.4 mm." Yep! The bezel is a bit over 450mm wide. NoPro! "If the right triangle’s legs are both 350 mm (an...

The front bezel (only Little Bit of Lisa in my collection) is your print limit factor. If you angle just that one part to max size in you printer, might it fit that cubic closer to life size? edit: I can knock back the return at the bottom of my bezel a hair over 3/4" at the mold break line to...

Glad to have pointed out that discrepancy, it drove me to distraction playing with my "Little Bit of Lisa" before the LCD/Controller revolution induced by the Raspberry Pi movement. The solution I came up with was the 12" RGB PizzaTopper. Fits like a glove, but not at all practical unless a...

Where is it being held, only a partial address in the IP?

I've got most of them in hard copy. :)

Angles for setback of display are different. Sides are steep, Top is more shallow and bottom is very shallow. Are you taking that into consideration? Matching the multi-angled framing of the LCD would enhance the look, being more natural. Note scribed lines in pencil. Strange bulge on bottom...

I've got that book< I'll take a look, THX.

Percentage may be off: - Specs for LCD and CRT are not the same. Tube diagonal is not equivalent to LCD dagonal. - Need to consider how much larger a 9.7" screen would be than an 80 percent opening for a 12"diagonal CRT - Display area of an LCD is the tuge diagonal vs. the display area of a 12"...

I found the @zigzagjoe suggestion: "That card appears to be completely discrete or programmable logic. It would be simpler to just reverse engineer and modify the counter logic responsible rather than try to adapt it. If a general purpose card outputting a more usable resolution is the goal...

Not that I know of so far, but wouldn't be surprised if @Bolle has done so already or might be willing to do so for yet another of my insane projects. Definitely putting straight copies on the board if/when I get to that point. Have socketed GALs in hand as it is if it comes to that!

IIRC, he's the one who told me to rework the formulas in the card's GALS as a better approach, haven't found the thread/quote yet. I cannot do anything in the realm of driver development, much less reworking formulas in GALS,. So I'm attempting to do it in a way that I might be able to pull off...

Indeed, but there would not be much interest in that, so few FPD cards available and a converter would make them more expensive. Are there other applications where a relatively low cost image rotation solution might be needed? Implementing FPGA based rotation on a clone of the FPD Card is the...

No need to prove you wrong, I have never said image rotation will take place anywhere but in the gates of the FPGA, You've been assuming that I'm trying to do things I've never suggested. Not doing rotation in VRAM, not in GALs, no rotation will be done ANYWHERE on whatever portion of the board...

Never implied VRAM could do anything like that, data inputs to VRAM were to be captured and run through the FPGA early on in the thread. Waiting for feedback on the viability of snooping GAL outputs for assembled page buffer data. If possible that'd be a convenient wedge. VRAM will definitely...

Makes sense, printing footprint is a major consideration.

LISA 1 with optical drive! The FDD version looks more substantial, thinness is not a feature. Why the 9.7" iPad panel limitation?
