Mac SE with 15 pin video, found a Novy Systems card?
Posted by: snuci on 2019-07-30 08:18:37 Still looking for an Micro Xceed "in the wild" so I took a chance and bought a Mac SE with a 15 pin video port on the back. I got it today and when I opened it up, I found a Novy Systems Inc. accelerator card with memory and I am guessing, video out. Looks like it also has a SCSI port? Has anyone seen anything like this? The rust colored connector goes to a DB15 pin connector that shows out of the back of the SE. The internal hard drive was connected to the internal SCSI port. Edit: Thanks to Compugeke, he noticed it was Novy Systems Inc and not Navy Systems Inc. 🙂

To the best of my knowledge, the only card ever released that made use of it was the E-Machines Big Picture card but it's possible there's more. Here's the same connector on the back of the GCC Hypercharger I used to own

Posted by: PB145B on 2019-07-30 13:09:36 Nice find! Keep in mind that the Xceed is for the SE/30, and won’t work in an SE. Unless there’s some older model I don’t know about that you’re after?
