Posted by: slomacuser on 2020-01-19 09:03:44
Looking for original drivers for NuBus RasterOps 24STV card, running on Quadra 650 with System 7.1

Allready tried: 

RasterOps Graphics Install v3.2
RasterOps Graphics Install v3.3 - 1994
MoviePak - Disk 1 - Disk 2 - Disk 3
MoviePak2 - Disk 1 - Disk 2 - Disk 3
VideoTime - Disk 1 - Disk 2 - Disk 3

RasterOps Monitor extension v1.53 - 1990

The card can grab a video source and is recognised by control panel but the video is not accelerated. Norton speed test result the video speed as on Mac LC.

Well I found out the card is not accelerated so any Raterops drivers works just fine with this card but the card is just slow. You can accelerate the card with additional nubus Rasterops Accelerator I or II but when capturing the video acceleration is recommended to be OFF.

I'm curious if you tried RasterOps Graphics System Software v1.68 here:

I don't have the same card as you, but I do have a RasterOps 24Sx and the 3.0.2 Accelerator Control Panel will turn acceleration on/off (Other versions of that control panel did not work).

Yes. I have tried it. The card is not accelerated so the Accelerator Control Panel does not work.

Thanks!
So I should save 50€ by not buying one. 😅

If you need it for capturing video it is good card, it got good results and reviews. But for regular use it is not recommended. It has also fixed resolution for 13" monitor only.

Think I have a different revision of that card, not sure where it is.
