unity's latest

Posted by: unity on 2018-02-26 14:26:54 Since my old three got deleted for some reason, I will have to start another. Picked up a Quadra 650 with a Daystar Quad 040 upgrade. Not sure why it would be installed. Like the main board, it has an 040 (not LC) @ 33MHz. I can see the cache being a bonus, but one could have just got a chance card cheaper.

Posted by: Bolle on 2018-03-01 23:00:51 The twin DSPs on there make me believe you also have an image accelerator right there. Didn‘t they make something called Image 040? I think that‘s what you got 😉

Posted by: omidimo on 2018-03-02 00:14:36 Image 040, it cost almost as twice as much as the Quad 040. An awesome find indeed!

Posted by: joethezombie on 2018-03-02 07:00:51 That's pretty cool.  I thought the expansion was only for a cache module.  A DSP daughterboard hanging off there is awesome!

Posted by: unity on 2018-03-31 14:13:49 Picked up an SE/30 today. Very nice clean working system. Came with an external Apple CD drive also. A pretty nice haul for $25 and a 3 hour round trip. But as a bonus, it came with a Micron Xceed SE/306-48! Thats the card for outputting color to an external display. Totally unexpected find and made the trip worth it. The oddity is that the connector panel has a switch to indicate if a display is attached or not. Wonder why they have that. I dont recall seeing that on other output boards.
