| Help identifying Lapis PDS card. | |
| Posted by: Solvalou on 2019-04-05 12:52:48 As per title, does anyone have any information on this card? I was going to list it up for sale but I got no idea what it is exactly! I assume some kind of mono video card (duel or full page display?). Does anyone have info on this? Better yet are the drivers still available? Regardless, I'm fairly sure it isn't worth much but I'm trying to declutter so it needs to go...   | |

| Posted by: trag on 2019-04-05 13:19:00 Interesting. If nothing else, you can always use it as an FPU expansion card... You might try searching on Lapis Display Server. I have a couple of Lapis cards for the Mac Plus that look a lot like that one, and that's their product name. | |
| Posted by: omidimo on 2019-04-05 13:38:06 Probably a Lapis Color Server 8. Try TattleTech? Drivers: https://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/video/lapis_videocard_drivers.sea  | |
Posted by: Solvalou on 2019-04-05 14:58:41Googling the part number did no good?10029-1F? No. Interesting. If nothing else, you can always use it as an FPU expansion card...All my LC's have network cards with FPU's so it isn't really any more useful to me. That said, it's possible that might be what it is. But would it be a colour card? It has an 8-pin D-sub on the rear, not the usual standard 15-pin D-sub so I assumed it was probably mono. | |
| Posted by: Solvalou on 2019-04-08 06:25:41 I guess this card will remain a mystery. . . But if anyone does find out some info on this particular card please do let me know. In the mean time I suppose I will list it up for sale as it is. As said, it could always be used as an FPU card! Thanks for the help anyways especially omidemo, you are probably onto something there. Pity mine doesn't use a standard 15-pin output (it's a 9-pin D-sub, not 8 as I made a typo). | |
| Posted by: nickpunt on 2019-05-21 17:06:08 Not the same but similar is this one on eBay: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F132580730811 I have the procolorserver 24 (I believe) for LC, has similar parts. Agree yours could be the 8. Look at my gallery to compare | |
Posted by: Solvalou on 2019-05-22 11:57:44Not the same but similar is this one on eBay: That looks very similar to mine. That 24 looks awesome though! Do you know if there's a way for this to work on a standard 15-pin D-sub? Is it definitely a ColorServer and not part of the Pivot/Page display range? | |
| Posted by: nickpunt on 2019-05-22 23:56:47 No idea about 15-pin compatibility, my guess is it'd be same as other non-15pin ones as far as output res & compatibility. The ProColorServer 24 is 15-pin and works fine outputting to an LCD. | |
