Radius Vintage is AFAIK CRA Systems, a legacy support outfit like Shreve.
They have outrageous prices, but do answer the phone, and some questions
(especially if the answer is buy our $90 cable).
OTOH Radius made some very nice products and its a shame to see them get
tossed into the dumpster.
I have a LOT of Radius stuff for sale myself. I hunt for it at swapmeets
and auctions, and beg copies of software when it surfaces. Unfortunately I
am rather disorganized right now, especially the software stuff. Eventually
I hope to be able to quietly send copies of most of the software packages
to people in situations like this, but as of now I don't know what I have
or where it is in software. Cables, cards, even monitors I can deal with
much easier, so don't hesitate to email me if you are looking for a Radius
hardware item like a TPD card or cable.
The Pivot is a VERY nice monitor, and should work fine with a number of
mac's builtin video in the portrait mode. SoftPivot is required only for
the landscape mode and real time switching of modes, and isn't essential.
The proper cable though, is essential. Since you have the card and cable,
all I suspect you need is the control panel/driver, which may be part of a
RadiusWare package, but I don't know which etc. Don't depend on it working
past about system 7.6 though, which Apple cheerfully broke the back of most
of its video supporters with.
