| Drivers for LapisColor LC2421 LCPDS graphics card | |
| Posted by: Danamania on 2017-03-01 01:10:45 A convo in IRC has reminded me this card exists (and that I have one) - it was built by Focus Enhancements in 1994, and is a 3MB graphics card for LCPDS and LC-Compatible PDS slot Macs. Gives 1152x870 resolution with bucketloads of colours, I've never been able to find a driver that works with it. There are a few bundles of various Focus drivers floating about - but I've stepped through each of them numerous times in the past to find no difference with them installed (and from memory, many boot up with an X through the driver icon - likely because it's for a card that's not this one. Were there driverless cards that were accelerated with standard system software/ROMs? If there are, might this be one of them? If not do you have a driver disk floating around for it? The card *works* but (and I haven't tried it for years, but was just reminded in IRC) it's quite quite slow in some operations. Advice, disk images, and sympathy all accepted gratefully 🙂 Dana | |

| Posted by: Bolle on 2017-03-01 10:31:53 I have a XCeed Color Fusion and that one needs drivers to enable Quickdraw acceleration. Without acceleration I still get a fantazillion of colours up to 1152*870 but everything is really slow. I do not think the Lapis card would be any different. | |
