Okay, I know it's been a while but i found something on the net about the lapis card, here is the link http://www.verycomputer.com/26_37448f9d7d0d5856_1.htm
This dates back to '91. But now I know that this card works with Multisync monitors, so my 17 inch LCD "should" work.
I also know it has a programable ROM which gets written too each time the machine is restarted. So maybe there's a problem with that?
There are different versions of the ROM, some didn't work with some Daystar accelerators, some did. Don't know why tho...
This guy said he got a new ColorServer extension from Lapis themselves. Version 3.0.
Maybe my ROM is an old one and doesn't support the version I found? But the extension doesn't load on my /30 so I don't know which version it is.
Another interesting fact: the Lapis came with two connectors, one VGA and one DA15 (Macintosh). So it appears the card switches automatically from VGA to DA-15, back and forth.
I only have the DA15 one. And I'm trying to convert it back to VGA. Maybe this "adapter" doesn't work with that card. I will try to get a simple DA-15 to VGA cable, not adapter!
I also found the email address of the guy from the post. I will try to contact him but I doubt he still uses this email address....
And after that I will try to track back Jeff Marks from Lapis. Maybe they kept some of the updated ROMS !!
Maybe my card works after all...
