[wwandrei]

Hello. I wonder if anyone can help me with a PART NUMBER for video interface card from konica 7085 or DI 850 ... i can`t find it anywere and i have some copiers that has this card broken. (the VIF card is the card from the copier that makes connection between copier and print controller IP602-7085; pi8500-di850). Thank you !

Those little cards are a pain in the ass. You look at them crosseyed and the damn things fail. I've lost count of how many I've had to replace over the years.

Thank you for your replay but i don`t know if this is the Part Number. If you try to google it you can`t find anything about it ... and I have one right in front of me and the Part No written on it is: 13TM-901(2) ... a Part No should be the same for same component ... the Serial No is different. So .... ? And yes those cards are so weak ... I already have 3 broken cards and for konica 7075 (ip601) i lost the count too ...

Ok. Thank you guys. I more little question : di 850 VIF is the same as on 7085? It seems this is the PN. Any suggestions where I can buy this card? Preferable in Europe, and not from konica minolta `cause their price is "untouchable"

more than likely.

I cannot find other reference to this unfortunately.

Probably the VIF is the same. BUT you'll probably have to flash the VIF with the Minolta firmware so it will work.

I say this because I once (a long long time ago) had to install a Minolta controller on a Konica machine (well, actually I had to do it twice, once it was a Minolta Controller on a Konica 7165 and later it was a Minolta controller on a Konica 7075) and it only worked after I flashed the Konica machines with the Minolta firmware.

So, and since I'm almost sure the VIF has its own firmware, you'll probably have some flashing to do.

7075 vif is tha same as di 750 vif i`ve made the test ... no fw needed, but i don`t have a di 850 copier to test that too ... but i assume is the same.
