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…

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…

I'm not at home, so I can't upload the driver but . . . . . . KnightTech is 404! BLEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IIRC, I've got all the RadiusWare downloads backed up on various …

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…

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…

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.

got another c\classic swapped over the mother board up it came so its something on the pcb

That just LOOKS awesome. Great job.

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. …

Hate to drag up an old thread, but were you ever successful?

Hello I changed battery but he won't boot. I have a startup chime followed to a death chime, black screen, fan start and hard disk turn. One idea ? lpl

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

It s order ... i am wainting. Thanks. lpl

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

No, this only works on Macs with the same video chip as the 8500.

Hello My "new" macintosh LC III has same green wires on logic board. And i have death chime. I would put a picture soon. Sorry for my languages i am french. lpl from FRA…

Is there any way I might get this to work on my Performa 6300 using the built in video?

There is also a slight chance that the sound output port is dirty. I'm pretty sure that there is a little switch inside of it that turns off the internal speaker when you plug some…

Updated links to drivers (still working great after a year on my PM8500 with built-in video on a 1920x1080 LCD): CustomGraphicsDriver.sit Custom_TwinTurbo9600_Driver.sit

Ha! my old thread bounced back to near the top! At first glance my board looked clean albeit dusty. When I removed the board and dusted it off and held it to the bright light I c…
