Posted by: Mac-Man on 2022-05-23 13:38:52 Wow, I’m really impressed what you did and what’s still possible with the Mac SE/30, well done! Will that become an option to turn on/off via a control panel?

Posted by: tact on 2022-06-06 01:34:32 sadly I missed out on the other amazing cards you made but i really hope I can get one of these! =)
Posted by: APPLCOLC on 2022-06-17 08:08:23 Oh, one other question. Is it just the Turbo040 accelerator that works with this greyscale card, or will other things work, like your P33 Reloaded?
Posted by: tcole on 2022-12-03 10:58:17 Did this project get finished and the cards go on sale? I keep searching the Trading Post forum and can't find anything.
Posted by: Bolle on 2022-12-03 13:41:44 Is it just the Turbo040 accelerator that works with this greyscale card, or will other things work, like your P33 Reloaded? As far as I can tell all accelerators will work together with the card. Tested so far are P33/P34, Turbo040, Carrera040, SE/30 DiiMO as well as the SE/30 specific socketed PowerCache. Did this project get finished and the cards go on sale? Well, what does finished mean to you? 😛 There are a few cards on the way to a few friendly users and we'll see how to proceed from there. I am not yet quite sure if I ever want to build any more wiring harnesses for those things 😅 I paused working on the card over the summer and just picked up working on it again and solved (kind of) two of the main problems we were experiencing. Was going to post a follow up on what happened one of these days.

Posted by: Aeroform on 2022-12-04 01:38:38 I hereby volunteer in building wire harnesses should that help in opening this project up to a bigger part of the community. Having built countless of fpv drones dealing with wire messes and crimping connectors doesn’t feel to alien or annoying to me 🙂. I’m based in Sweden so shipping back to Germany should be easy. Send me a DM if you wish @Bolle
Posted by: Brooklyn on 2022-12-04 10:36:28 Simply amazing work! Interested in going in the queue for ordering one. I can build my own harness if needed.
Posted by: nightingale on 2022-12-04 15:13:38 Agreed, I feel like the wiring harness is something I could handle, and maybe even assembling the card itself. If it were possible to buy a kit I would be interested if nobody wants to manufacture these.
Posted by: aeberbach on 2022-12-04 15:55:28 This looks incredibly good.
Posted by: Hollie on 2022-12-13 10:55:26 Got one today; it is as excellent as all Bolle products. Runs at 512x384@60Hz.
Posted by: tcole on 2022-12-13 10:56:56 I want one of these. Would be happy to put together the wiring harness myself.
Posted by: K Trueno on 2022-12-13 11:00:49 Wow amazing work! And despite owning a Micron XCEED setup I'd be tempted to move to 512x384 vs 512x341 not to mention that virtual desktop feature :-D
Posted by: APPLCOLC on 2022-12-13 11:13:39 I’m 100% interested in one of these. If there were instructions I’ll deal with the harness myself.
Posted by: ktkm on 2022-12-13 11:19:17 Me, me, me! Now, now, now!
Posted by: KGLlewellyn on 2022-12-13 13:50:38 I would definitely like to note down my interest for one of these. These cards are unobtanium so a clone is most welcome.
Posted by: Nixontheknight on 2022-12-13 13:57:46 I would definitely like to note down my interest for one of these. These cards are unobtanium so a clone is most welcome. I would say "count me in," but I'm not sure if there is a way to add a PDS slot to the Macintosh Classic, which would be cool
