Radius FPD w/9 pin header on board or DE-9 connector on backplane: relevant links to info from anywhere wanted for scaling project
Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2025-05-06 12:05:56 Any links to any info at all on these cards/displays would be appreciated Eventually looking to clone FPD and TPD cards eventually, but looking at nailing down output/scaling solutions first. Had some luck with TPD/Extron Scaler in the past: Good & reasonable HDMI scaler: Extron RGB-HDMI 300(A) At @Trash80toHP_Mini's request, a thread about the HDMI scaler I found myself using to do vintage Mac stuff on a modern screen.

The Anyone find CRTs hard to look at? thread we've got going in the lounge is great, raising a lot of good questions already. So I figured working our collections into current tech daily driver setups might make for a good technical discussion here in Peripherals. I've been watching 30"+ 2K... 68kmla.org Apple Portrait Display & Macintosh SE I thought I vaguely remembered seeing Macintosh SE's connected to Apple's Portrait Display monitor. But it's possible I'm thinking of an SE/30 or a Radius monitor, not Apple's. Anyone know if a video card exists that allows a Macintosh SE to drive an Apple Portrait Display? 68kmla.org
Posted by: Maurice on 2025-10-01 13:22:47 See pdf file I made for the Radius Full Page Display. The information came from manuals, brochures, advertisements and articles I found on the internet. I also found images of Radius Full Page Display hardware on the internet to include the archived Radius website from the late 1990's. The Radius Full Page Display Monitor was upgraded over the years. It had three different horizontal and vertical frequencies over the years. The Radius FPD Monitor also had two different connectors over the years.
