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…

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 . . .

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…

MacOS 8.6 on "Sawtooth" G4 — #68
of course lba-48 is optional, I included it as much as an example of how to set multiple variables as anything else. It does seem to work on my sawtooth, (Uni North Rev 3 btw), bu…

Thanks, that's exactly the detail I wanted.
I notice you have added a new line enabling the lba-48 property. Can this line be considered optional and be omitted from the patch if …
MacOS 8.6 on "Sawtooth" G4 — #65
Note- I've updated the patch slightly based on some research... the Sawtooth 8.6 only seems to like 7400 and 7410 processor models. Reading some opensource PPC code online lead m…

Thanks for the firmware patch. I can't wait to try it out on my 7455 upgraded sawtooth. However, I have never done any open firmware editing before and I was wondering if you could…

... I should mention that Sawtooth G4 shipped with PowerPC G4 7410 7400series CPU and that OS 8.6 doesn't like upgraded 7445 7450 7455 or whatever (it shows up as a bootable choice…
