Toon's good finds ... and the lost ones
Posted by: zefrenchtoon on 2024-02-02 10:03:26
I think I became SE PDS card-ill …

As of now, I've got:

- Memory Plus MODAM video card
- Radius Accelerator 16
- Radius SE Display video card
- Strawberry Tree Computers Analog Connection SE
- SuperMac SuperView SE video card
- Sigma Designs PageView SE video card

I'm lurking on a Radius Kanji Font PDS card only for collection and maybe I will get one NuBUS video card to go in a IIsi to try to run A/UX without using internal vampire video.

Oh boy ... (Quantum Leap ?)

I've "accidentally" bought another SE PDS card ... a Mobius Accelerator 25 (and by comparing it with the one on preterhuman wiki, I'm thinking if it is possible to upgrade it to 33MHz ?? by changing the 68EC030@25 by a full 68030@33 and replacing the clock by a 33MHz one)

Also, I've (still accidentally) bought a IIsi. Why buying another one if I already own one ?
As said in my signature, my IIsi is somewhere in my parents' attic and ... I'm unable to put my hands on it. πŸ™
Also, I think that it may be totally exploded and, the one I've found is not battery bombed !
Also, the one I've found contains an Ethernet card of some sort as I could see on the seller's pictures.
Finally, the seller accepted my offer to pay 5€ more to get it very well packaged to sent it to me, so I had to pay ... 45€ for it.

So I got a IIsi with 17MB of RAM, 250MB of HDD (still working !), a bettery removed asap by the seller and an Ethernet PDS card in it.
Of course, I have to recap it but this will be another story. πŸ˜€

WOW. This is so unobtainium. Congrats on securing those precious finds!

Never stumbled on a MacTell copy before.
I may have a disk but someone (pc guy) repurposed as a dos disk for pirated stuff. Ugh.

That's why I snagged it quickly on leboncoin when I saw it ! πŸ˜€

If you want a drive, tell me. Or if you want to part with the card, maybe someone will want them together. πŸ™‚

@slomacuser here is a quick scan done with QuickScan πŸ˜…
I did not want to disassemble it to scan it properly, sorry.

Feel free to store and share it where you want !

I will think about how to scan it using a flatbed scanner.

Good job πŸ™‚ thank you for sharing

Great! thanks @zefrenchtoon !

Hum … if anyone know something about this card …? πŸ€”

Markings say:
IC PRODUCTS
CONNEXION-SE

What is the use of different connectors (2x 2 pins+ 1x 6 pins) ?

Extracted from a Macintosh SE.
I’ve got the HDD too so maybe I will be able to find docs and/or drivers on it.
Stay tuned !

I reckon that's a modem. The TS7515 and EF7910 in the two big 28-pin packages in the middle are both modem chips implementing different sets of standards...

Thanks !
I tried to find TSX7515 datasheet but did not try TS7515 πŸ˜•
Still hoping to find something interesting on the HDD. πŸ™‚
