| What is this card I have in my SE/30 ? | |
| Posted by: MHarding on 2024-05-04 23:49:11 I've recently bought myself a Macintosh SE/30, and found this card mounted on the analog boards power socket. It has "(C) 1988 ASK LCD" stamped on the PCB and has a 9 pin output on the back of the SE/30. I assume it's for an external monitor of some sort. When googling I came up with almost nothing, apart from finding a company called "ASK Projectors". Searching for "ASK LCD" gives lots of misleading hits..... Assuming it's for an external monitor, does anyone know what type/model of external monitor I can attach ?   | |
| Posted by: Byrd on 2024-05-05 00:14:20 It's a cloning video output adapter, so you could display the B&W image externally on a projector; something like a TTL/monochrome monitor might do it but be prepared for some tinkering. | |
| Posted by: aeberbach on 2024-05-05 15:12:02 I think there was probably some other circuitry to attach to that board to provide video output to some other device. The logic chip there is probably being used as a buffer to drive those lines without affecting internal video. Compact mac video is hsync, vsync and 1-bit pixel data - no monitor I know of takes that directly. | |

Think you're right 👍 I don't think I'll ever find a LCD panel for it, must be "unobtainium" by now, or buy an overhead projector.... Could have been a really fantastic setup though, for showing off 😎 | |
