SE/30 with ProColorServer Graphics Card

And I managed to get the card working sans drivers with a few quirks. It needs an adapter to display anything, even on the main monitor. With the adapter the card thinks it has a secondary monitor attached and it boots System 7.1. Without it, it gets stuck pre "Welcome to Macintosh Screen". Just took it for a spin in Wolfenstein and Warcraft 1 and I'm extremely happy.

7.5.x isn't so lucky though and I doesn't play nice at all with it, even with the Update File removed. Closest I came to having it run was partial picture displayed on the main monitor, but it went away with the first restart.

In short, if anyone finds themselves in the same situation, you need a DB15 to HD15 adapter plugged it, even if you want to run just the internal B&W monitor.

A lot of the Lapis cards seem rather fractious with 7.5 unfortunately.

And there it is, my new development station for my own games completed. It's a beauty 🙂

I love it!  Also, talk about retro, look at those K&R-style C function definitions  ....

Looks awesome!  What kind of games are you planning on developing?

Already porting one of my old ones, Ebony Spire. Hoping to do even a limited physical boxed release when It’s ready.
