Mac. I've seen one on what I think was a IIcx (maybe IIci), and
another on on my mother's Mac Plus. The IIc[xi] interface is a NuBus
card. The Plus interface is a daughterboard contrivance that sits
atop the 68000 on the Plus mainboard (and hooks up with springs to a
couple of other signals); it brings the video out through the security
slot on the back of the Plus.
I'd like to find a service manual for the monitor (and associated
clues for my brain); Mom's is going kind of funny in one of those ways
where the horizontal sync seems to change a bit after it warms up a
while, and is sensitive to brightness. I opened it up over Christmas
and adjusted it so it's usable (also rebuilt the PS in the Plus
following directions in Larry Pina's book, so now the internal monitor
works again) but expect that it's running on borrowed time.
On the other hand, maybe it'd be easier to buy Mom a not-so-classic
computer. She's decided that the Plus is slow.

It seems confirmed that it's for a Mac. There was also a mention on the
classicmac m-l of one hooked up to a Plus. I have a plus and it's a neat
machine. If only they had set it up for 1.6 instead of 800k. It's not a
speedster for sure and they all had a problem with the PSU and
overheating. OTOH it would be one of the last machines to go if I ever had
to reduce my collection. Keep me in mind for the adapter if your mother ever
decides to junk it.
For now the Radius goes at the back of the "peripherals waiting for a card"
shelf. Thanks for the info.
