Okay, they don't have any jumpers, but does that mean that they don't have any jumper pins? I've never seen a SCSI drive without jumper pins (or resistor packs) to set the termina…

Ran out of edit time on the last post. Using the 7500's jumper-less hard disk and cdrom I get the grey screen with term power enabled or disabled on the cdrom.

Thanks for the ideas. I'm pretty sure I tried with no scsi cable attached and got the grey screen. I'll try it again soon and see what happens (I have it sitting with batteries ou…

I just tried the hard disk from my Classic II but it still won't go past the grey screen (no rounded edges btw). So that's power ok and known-good HD not booting it. I've tried the…

A friend called over earlier with a multimeter and the PSU checks out. +12v, -12v and +5v in all the right places. The batteries checked out too. I just tried the hard disk from m…

Unfortunately no. I'm not really equipped for this level of troubleshooting. I'm still at the swap-with-a-known-good-part stage. I've stripped it down a bit now. Disconnected ever…

Still no progress. I can't get it to boot beyond these grey screens. I've tried the internal disk from my 7500 and an external SCSI (as apparently you don't need the black terminat…

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…

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…

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
