Oh cool I hope those will work, While looking at your link I saw these look to be Exactly whats on the radius card and much cheaper here. If I can get them with a deal on combined shipping cost.

I could buy a few of them but can't afford All of them tho it would be nice to get them all while they are available.

Well, we'll see first if the ones I bought work. I bought a set of 3, so you can have one.

Posted by: tact on 2016-09-15 12:05:05
cool thanks see if those work, whats the difference in the M27c256B-15F1? whats the M and B mean? and F1 vs FA?

Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2016-09-15 14:13:41
That's a good question and to tell you the truth I don't know lol

'M' I think is meaningless. But B and F1/FA, dunno about that.

Posted by: techknight on 2016-09-15 17:36:53
only thing we can do is burn em and see if they work. I have no way to test them as I have no other radius cards outside of the IIsi one.

aw man some lucky punk just got a radius se30 card for $10.50 on ebay the old v1 maybe he will want to update his rom too =P

I got mine for $100 ! So it'd better work now!

BTW, the ROMs were successfully delivered, according to USPS at least. The game is on!

haha. I didnt even know to check the mailbox until you said that. There they are! 

BTW my mailbox is at the road. (in the stix)

sweet let me know how it goes =) And PM me for how much money I should send to whoever to send me a chip see if it works

You don't think this chip is any different that might do any damage if something is different? the data sheets seemed about the same thing

So there was another small problem with my radius pivot card I thought I was passed it but its back again. The screen sometimes get stuck in Grayscale even tho it says 256 color.  when i first got it this problem randomly popped up and I thought it was fried maybe it is, maybe its a problem with the rom maybe this will fix it maybe its something from the logic board.

The only thing that would Temporarily fix it would be to uninstall the card and re install it, Or theres even 2 jumpers on the board for A or 9 . i'm guessing thats a pds slot address selector tho I dont understand why there is 2 separate jumpers.

This only occurs after a restart when I restart the computer its grayscale even though it was color before no matter what I did I couldn't figure it out it was so random, and what i ended up doing I thought it was the old se hard drive I had in there maybe causing magnetic interference or anything from the crt. So I switched out the hard drive and crt and all that anyway as I was recapping it. And the problem was gone, until I just plugged in a monitor and it was grayscale again.....

So I was so exhausted from frustration with all this I put my SE 30 away for a little while Until we maybe finish this ROM Update =) maybe that will fix it... maybe not maybe I'll have to buy a different card one day if I ever see another one.... unlikely.

any update on the new rom chips? =)

I acquired one of those iisi color pivot cards to do some testing they are so cheap why not have another around.

Not sure if it will fit yet I'll try it sometime next week.

Was curious if I got one of these plcc32t to dip28 adapters could I just put the chip from the iisi card right into the other rom slot?

Been busy at work. Will try and get them flashed this weekend. 

Posted by: tact on 2016-10-26 23:58:25
As stated in my other topic I jammed that other pivot card with the 2.5 rom and it works okay in 32bit the mouse doesn't freeze.

I hope updating the chip in the other card fixes the problem too =)

and also hoping not to have any other problems like going greyscale...

I'll keep you updated  Let me know about those chips when you have the time =)

You're referring to the IIsi card, right?

Posted by: techknight on 2016-10-27 10:28:34
I have the chips. Soon as I get them programmed, I will get them sent off. I should have some spare time this weekend to get er done. I gotta drag out and blow the cobwebs off my hardware. good ol compaq 400Mhz laptop. Last thing I have left with a parallel port that still has USB.

Found your other thread. The IIsi card works great in my SE/30 too. I am 95% sure that after a ROM swap, the SE/30 specific card will work just as well as its IIsi counterpart.

Posted by: tact on 2016-10-31 20:26:44
Ya I really hope these rom chips work so i can finally put this se30 back together completely =)

This seems like it might be useful for a lot of people that have these cards to update the rom.

Posted by: tact on 2016-11-13 21:27:33
Think I'll just get this plcc32t to dip28 adapter and see if i can put the chip from this iisi card into the 030 card

Posted by: techknight on 2016-11-14 13:44:35
ROMs are flashed. I just havent gotten addresses yet to send them out. 

Posted by: tact on 2016-11-14 20:46:51
