Okay, yeah - the "you have something unread in this thread" indicator is quite subtle. Especially in the oldskool skin. Really hard to see the difference, in my opinion at least.

Do you have some documentation about the UMC8881 that describes the registers of the chipset ? I haven't been able to find anything... No plain documentation unfortunately, but a cfg file from Ctchip34 with the description of several registers. Tiido: no luck so far, only wiretap has maybe seen one …

Seems it is a prototype of Apple 630-4179 Video Board Sun Type 13W3 interface, an "Apple Workstation Video card". https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/k-AAAOSwEWNchF0J/s-l1600.jpg From elsewhere: "Blackjack" is likely a code name. The only thing unusual is the DB plus coax connector instead of the then- …
