IIfx Won't boot — #71

IIfx Won't boot — #69

Instead of starting a new thread I'll tack onto this one. I'm trying to get my "new" IIfx working here. Initially it didn't power on. I added in two batteries and that got it to b…

1920x1080 on PM8500 built-in, Twin Turbo 128 — #31

I can't commit to putting lots of time into this. I can look into an extension or whatever for possible tables, but doing ROM hacking in't something I have time for.

I'm terrible at pattern finding, BTW, but an ace at finding pattern disruptions . . . picture the sort of guy who can find a four leaf clover just about anywhere without too much f…

1920x1080 on PM8500 built-in, Twin Turbo 128 — #29

Hmmm, even if there is no extension with the driver, it still could be possible to patch the driver in memory. So the process might be an extension that finds it in memory, patches…

The basic drivers are in the DeclROM for Sense Line defined/activated FixedRez Apple Monitor standards. IIRC, the RadiusWare control Panel would be where any "options" were set fo…

No, unfortunately I don't have much hardware tools beyond a digital multimeter and anything custom I make on a breadboard. Using a ROM might be too difficult. Regardless, the idea…

1920x1080 on PM8500 built-in, Twin Turbo 128 — #25

Maybe. It depends on whether the resolutions are hard-coded into its driver ROM, or are in an extension that can be modified. For the built-in driver for the PM8500, I had to figur…

1920x1080 on PM8500 built-in, Twin Turbo 128 — #24

Just out of curiosity, do you think there would be any way to hack the driver for the old Radius Color Pivot II Cards to put out a 60 Hz resolution for use with modern LCDs?

Sorry for the overdue reply. You may need the adapter set to multisync, but as long as it can do say 1280x960 normally, then this will work. I've done this with several adapters, a…

Macintosh Portable dilemma — #17

Thanks for this thread and the cabling information. I made a 34-pin to 50-pin+molex cable for my Portable and it's working great. I'll keep the Conner drive around for posterity (i…

What kind of VGA adapter would one need for this? I have a Belkin adapter with DIP switches to set resolution, which makes me not sure this'll work for me.

Deep IIci rejuvenation, possible ROM select problem — #32

I haven't played with it much, my projects are on hold until I find a place to live. This Mac is successful in the sense that you can burn ROM chips and it will run off of them. …

Be sure to replace those old and prone to leaking caps. Max out the RAM, too. She's a beautiful machine.

First thing to do is change your PRAM battery, that is an old one in there! Then trouble shoot using the error codes.
