I sold one of these to an engineer at Apple in Cupertino a couple years ago. He was sort of secretly building out a weird museum of vintage apple hardware at the infinite loop campus and running original software and programs through all this stuff. He had to figure out how to get the pivot monitor to play nice with the old Macintoshes without any software floppies. He couldn’t send me pictures but it was awesome to see that there was a weird unofficial skunkworks at Apple goofing around with vintage oddware on the company dime.

@@Muldrf The Mac one was a lot more elegant -- just about anything made for a Mac II or later worked great.

The diagonal line visible on the screen when it's rotated is from the camera's rolling shutter catching the CRT's electron beam. It's a horizontal line when the CRT is in landscape, and it has a weird diagonal tearing effect while it's being rotated. Neat.

12:09 The diagonal artifact line is due to the fact that the refresh of the monitor is still horizontal (right to left when in vertical position) so it messes up with the camera horizontal rolling shutter (up to down).

It sort of makes sense because at the time the Windows PC was dominant at the time as since the monitor video input tech isn’t isn’t that difficult to adapt between Mac and PC at that time (you just needed a slightly different monitor plug on the PC and support this monitors default refresh rates on your PC video Card), the only real issue would be writing driver/utility software for this monitor to support auto rotation of the screen image as you manually rotate the physical monitor case. That really wasn’t that difficult to do as I understand it. Large software porting or hardware porting is much more expensive for any company that started out as Mac only back in the 80s and early 90s which meant a lot more Mac software/hardware company focused only on the Mac unless they (or there investors) really saw a big market justifying the cost. The same was true of DOS/Windows PC software/hardware manufacturers back then too with many being DOS/Windows PC only.

I grew up in the 90's and my dad was just getting into computers during that time too. He loved Macs and so we always had tons of different Mac gear over the years that he bought and sold from his Mac friends. We had many Radius expansion cards over the years which were usually the highlights of the systems they were in but the coolest one by far was the Color Pivot for the SE/30. As far as I remember, the Color Pivot was one of very few ways to get any sort of color output from an SE/30. It was so cool that he never sold it, most of the other stuff has been sold over the years. He moved recently but AFAIK he brought the Pivot and SE/30 with him (amongst a few other select favorite computers and accessories). I bet he has enough retro Mac goodies in his collection still that he could start a pretty successful YT channel if he wasn't so busy all the time. I always loved seeing this thing in action and didn't even know there was a Windows/DOS version. I have quite a few memories from back in the day of telling people about this monitor and they were always amazed and wanted one. Thanks for the vid!

Having a secondary vertical monitor is really nice. It's worth giving it a shot. Having one was super handy to have, not just for the obvious benefits of a second monitor, but it's ideal if you need to frequently reference a document or something while you work in the main monitor.

I don't remember the price of this Radius Pivot monitor but as i remember, iıt was higher than my budget and i had a new Flat square monitor. Another fine , interesting, reminding video about retro PC products and a very good state of the art monitor for LGR PCs. Good informative video. Thanks.

damn that is cool. thanks for sharing! and nice putting a face to the voice. =)

Feels a little bit like this video is lacking the Solitaire finishing animation in portrait.

I have a 17" Dell LCD (2010-ish) that rotates like this, but you have to manually rotate the image in windows

I had several Macintosh Radius Pivots back in the day that connected through ADB in addition to the D-15 video connector. They worked perfectly with the standard video card and a Radius Pivot driver.

Thanks Dan for his help! Without him, no video! :D
