I remember the project that Stuart described, and if I remember rightly it might have been hosted at one stage on the Applefritter site, which seems to be down so I can't verify. It's been a while, but I believe that the pickle was one of, if not the, prime mover of that project, and so wouldn't be surprised if it died around the time he broke away from LEM (which I think may have been a result of an incident in which I played a blundering part) At any rate, unless you can find the proverbial seller who doesn't know what they're handling and gives it to you for a song, Xceed card are exceedingly rare and expensive, and unless I could snaffle one at bargain prices, I'd probably put the money to something more useful that greyscale in my SE/30 (especially since I sold my SE/30 a year ago) but it depends on your priorities, I guess.

Good luck finding one. I got mine almost 10 years ago and have only seen them rarely on eBay. Keep in mind that it's actually 2 cards and 2 wiring harnesses. There's a card that replaced the little card on the back of the CRT and you also need a compatible color card for the PDS. Then there are wiring pieces that connects the 2 cards together and to the analog board. Only certain CRT tubes are compatible as well. Your use of the Diimo accelerator card may preclude using the slot for the required color card... There's quite a bit of information available on Gamba's site at: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/microngray.html Good luck! -Hal On Mar 21, 2004, at 4:19 PM, Luke Brennan wrote: > My SE/30 was showing its age.
