Macintosh SE - Lapis Display Server driver

Posted by: gijsmans on 2022-01-22 02:58:38 I have a Macintosh Se with a Lapis Display Server video card. I have borrowed an Apple Portrait Display from a friend. Only thing missing is the correct driver for the Lapis Display Server card. I found it at https://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/video.shtml but the .sit file seems corrupted when I try to extract it. Macintoshgarden has a download containing many Lapis drivers but not the specific one I need. How can help me with obtaining the Macintosh SE - Lapis Display Server driver? It is the Portrait version, not the Two Page version. Thanks! ps. photo taken before cleaning 🙂

Are you referring to DisplayServer.sit? It almost seems intact, but something has gone wrong in many of the bytes... ...however it seems things have gone wrong in a specific pattern, which makes me think maybe it can be recovered. I'll stare at it for a bit.

Posted by: Realitystorm on 2023-03-31 07:53:35 In the stack of NewLife disks I also found some drivers from Novy and MicroMac. The MicroMac driver is for the MicroMac SE 1.0 1990-08-16 copyright Lapis Technologies Inc.
