| Radius Pivot Model Variations - Need Info | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2021-08-13 09:52:34 I can't find any information on the various Radius Pivot models. What I do know is that some of them were Mac only and required specifically the Pivot card, likewise some were PC only and required a Pivot ISA card. Then according to what little info I could find, some would work with any video card and just required the Radius software. There are quite a few Radius Pivots on eBay right now, but I can't tell the difference in models. Does anyone have a list of model differences by any chance? Google is completely failing me. The models I'm interested in are: M2035GR PrecisionColor Pivot (typo? Still separate listing.) M20356R PrecisionColor Pivot 356 PrecisionColor Pivot 320 Radius Pivot (I think this one is PC only, and requires the ISA or PC PCI pivot card.) M20361 Ergo Pivot (Verified this one to be B&W/grayscale only.) | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2021-08-13 10:05:01 Someone had the foresight to copy the Radius Pivot FAQ for the model 0356. That one works with the Soft Pivot software, no need for the card. It's compatible up to System 7.5.1. A company called Portrait Display Labs released a commercial Pivot compatible driver that's supposed to increase support for Quadras and PowerMacs, as well as for systems beyond 7.5.1. Now the question is: Is the M20356R the same as the 0356? | |

| Posted by: jmacz on 2023-05-07 21:33:34 Not sure if this place is legit but they seem to have a bunch of them for $250 each. | |
| Posted by: JustG on 2023-05-08 07:49:47 Slightly off topic, I have one, in storage so not sure on the model number. Has anyone found a way to lubricate or adjust the mechanism to help pivot the display easier? Most of the reason it's in storage and not being used is it takes an alarming amount of effort to pivot. I was worried I would end up breaking something and put it away. | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2023-05-08 08:30:22 @jmacz Judging from the pictures, I think that's the same as the eBay seller. The advantage to eBay is that I think they'd pay for return shipping if it's broken. @JustG I seem to recall someone on here put together a tutorial disassembling the Radius Pivot. If you can get that far, then cleaning & lubing the pivot mechanism should be relatively trivial. Not sure what you'd use, though. Maybe graphite? | |
| Posted by: Zhinü on 2023-05-17 00:20:08 I can confirm that the Model 0369 Monochrome Pivot works in both softpivot software and hardware card-based pivot. Mine doesn’t have the stand though, which I’m currently looking to either remake or just find. | |
