Hello,

few days (I hope) and I'll have my first Elbox product; a mediator PCI 4000Di 3v mk-III, I hope will not be a nightmare

Mine is an A4000 rev. B, super buster 11, with 060 (128Mb + 16Mb), with OS 3.9 boing bags 4, with Indivision AGA MK2cr, mainboard full working and full recapped, with new ATX powersupply 520W (with correct Voltage range and correct Ampere), and new coin battery (no damage in mainboard).

I want add three PCI cards: a Voodoo3 2000 PCI (16Mb), a SB 128 PCI (or FM801, or SB live not supported at the moment I think), an ethernet RTL8139 PCI (I have also to test, not interested to use at the moment an Adaptec AHA-2940UW).
I hope to find a Sonnet PCI for the fourth PCI slot.

I have also to add eventually a BigRamPlus 256Mb Zorro3 to test in the Elbox mediator (at the moment I use in this A4000 a Cybervision64 3d CGX4 but with Warp3d unusable and a X-surf 100 ethernet); my idea is to put these Zorro cards in an other my A4000 that has no Zorro card at the moment.

well, first of all few questions:

- my idea is to put in this way the PCI cards, what do you think about ? :
ethernet RTL8139 PCI in the lower slot PCI (first slot PCI down of four slots)
SB 128 PCI in the second slot
Voodoo3 2000 PCI in the third slot
fourth slot PCI (at the top) free at the moment--> where add eventually add Sonnet card later

- OS 3.9 boing bags 4 used at the moment has inside Unofficial Picasso96 2.1e (alpha)
http://lilliput.amiga-projects.net/Picasso96.htm
Do I need to remove It and install Picasso96 2.1b ? http://amiga.serveftp.net/downloads.html
Or use other version ? (P96 2.1c , P96 2.1d)

- After update the MMCD UP2.5, Do I need to use pci.library 12.0 (30/05/2017) or test version pci.library 13.1 (11/01/2018) ?
