- Thanks for the posts from jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov (Jim Jagielski)
- and chrism@col.hp.com (Chris Magnuson) and mail from
- yaosenko@acsu.buffalo.edu (Yaosen Ko) and johnston@me.udel.edu (Bill
- Johnston). They dont quite agree, but they were quite helpful.
-
- * Accelerator:
-
- Daystar 030 boards work, 040 board should soon but doesn't yet
- (according to Daystar Tech support). Rocket is a no-go as well, and
- Radius apparently has no plan to make it work (not according to
- Radius, they didn't call me back).
-
- * PrecisionColor boards:
-
- Much contradictory data and questions still remain :-(
-
- Yaosen says: I am using Radius PrecisionColor 8x with 1.3.1 ROM. It is fully
- A/UX 3.0 compatible. (Previous 1.2.1 ROM is NOT compatible)
-
- Bill says: No accelerated video boards work, either.
-
- Jim says: A/UX doesn't support the acceleration aspects of the board.
- [Not quite clear whether he meant Apple or Radius board] It appears to
- work with some Macs (read non-Quadra) in the unaccelerated mode.
-
- Chris says: I'm using the 24X si card with a IIsi and it works fine.
- I don't know if the acceleration works, but I leave it on before I
- fire up AUX Startup.
-
- So, if anyone knows:
-
- Does acceration (e.g. the QuickColor CDEV) work?
- Does the Radius board (new Roms) work in a Quadra?
-
- May just have to mooch some hardware and try it out.
-
- Thanks!
