| Cable for Radius Direct Slot 030 Color Pivot Card V2.4 |
Posted by: TimHD on 2015-10-20 03:00:19
Hi, got this card off ebay, but without the connecting cable:
Anyone know where I can get a second hand cable? Would the cable be the same as the Radius Pivot IIsi interface ( http://www.applefritter.com/node/4347)?Does anyone know where I can get this parts so that I can make my own connector? (see http://maclassic.com/wiki/Radius_Pivot_030_Video_Card - refers to these connectors as MTA 640620 or MTA 643814 but the link seems to not sell these).

LOL! Outright theft appears to be the sincerest form of flattery. : 🙂

It's very likely the same cable. I got some breadboard jumper cables off eBay in F->F M>M(and F->M?) rainbow strips last year. They would be good for this application. These are similar. You can even glue the individual connectors together. Get the F-M variety and solder the male ends into a tiny project PCB (is Radio Shack still around?) and you can do the VGA conversion inline. Alternately, do it in a wiring harness with sense line/resolution selection done by swapping jumpers in the cable to either a soldertail connector for DA-15 Mac or converted HD-15 VGA on the backplane. ISTR the project going on the back-burner before the inline VGA conversion cable was noodled out/documented. But the pictures uploaded here later in the thread went down the whirlpool anyway.
p.s. 'fritter link's borked.

Thanks.
Does the HackProject sell those cables so that I can give em a try, or just the boards?
If not will see if I can make a replacement (though a few of those cables look pretty chunky with additional shielding) with those cables you linked to (thanks!)

De nada! The hack project is all DIY, nothing available but the info in the thread. The thicker cable on the real deal appear to be a micro-co-ax cable. Several comrades have used just plain old wire. DayStar(?) used plain wired, but the RGB lines were twisted with their respective ground lines. That should work fine.
uni has a thread about literally hacking off the FPU end of his RCPII/IIsi to get it to fit a right angle riser card inside his SE/30. Now that's a HACK!!!!
