Help! Mediator PCi 1200

lopos2000 · 07 August 2006, 23:47

I'm in desperate need of help to set up my Mediator PCI 1200.
I installed it according to the manual. Showconfig shows this

Code:

ShowConfig report:

PROCESSOR:    CPU 68040/68040fpu/68040mmu
CUSTOM CHIPS:    AA PAL Alice (id=$0023), AA Lisa (id=$00F8)
VERS:    Kickstart version 40.68, Exec version 40.10, Disk version 45.3
RAM:    Node type $A, Attributes $505 (FAST), at $47000000-$4BEFFFFF (79.0 meg)
    Node type $A, Attributes $703 (CHIP), at $1000-$1FFFFF (~2.0 meg)
BOARDS:
 Board (Index Information Ltd):   Prod=2206/32($89E/$20) (@$EA0000 128K)
 Board (Index Information Ltd):   Prod=2206/160($89E/$A0) (@$200000 4meg)
 Board + ROM (HD?) (phase 5):   Prod=8512/110($2140/$6E) (@$F00C34 128K)

The board also shows up in the early startup menue.
So far so good.
But it won't see my Voodoo3 or Voodoo4 4500 card.

I have installed the lasted drivers for the Mediator

Code:

pci.library - ver.6.5 (8328 bytes)
PciInfo - ver.1.2 (8088 bytes)
MediatorNET.device - ver.2.8 (6076 bytes)

SBMixer - ver.1.4 (2004 bytes)
tv.library - ver.4.0 (10072 bytes)

PCIinfo shows this:

Code:

Pci Device 1:
   VendorID: $ffff

   DeviceID: $100f

   ClassCode: $100fff

Pci Device 4:
   VendorID: $ffff
   VendorName: Unknown

   DeviceName: Unknown
   ClassCode: $100fff
   RevisionID: $ff
   InterruptPin: 0
   SubsystemVendorID: $ffff
   SubsystemID: $100f

I swaped the card around in different PCI slot but to no avail.

My system is:

A1200T in Power Tower with 200W AT PSU
A1200 MB Rev 2B (without mod)
Blizzard PPC +603 175/040/25
80MB
SCSI CDRW
8.5GB SCSI HD
internal FF/SD

Could it be the motherboard rev? Mine is rev 2B.
Any ideas. Please.

what are these "unknown" devices???

lopos2000 · 08 August 2006, 08:54

I only have the voodo card installed. I don't know. It's first time I installed a Mediator.

keropi · 08 August 2006, 09:29

when I used for a week a mediatorZIV, I just put the voodoo3 on the bottom slot, a 8139 lancard above, a sb128 and on the top a spider-II card... all just worked after installing the drivers from MMCD and picasso96... the 1200 was 1D4 without any fixes and a DCE 060BPPC...
did you try the voodoo on a pc?

lopos2000 · 08 August 2006, 09:36

An Amiga friend tried out the Voodoo cards and both were working in his setup. So I presume both are working. My guess it's my mb which is rev 2B. The rev 1D,you used, is it the same I am buying of you?

keropi · 08 August 2006, 09:46

yep

lopos2000 · 08 August 2006, 09:55

Hope to get paid soon so I can pay you to try out the mb.

Is it the first Mediator version you have?
And do you have the Elbox Multimedia CD?

Yes, It's the rev 1.0 Meator PCI 1200. I also got the Multimedia CD. See Pic

i have a med 1200 sx with voodoo3 card you have to read the instuctions on the med cd carefully?
i cant see that there should be any differance in the setup from yours than mine??
as you have to change the virge card in devices monitors to voodoo etc
have the med prefs open at the same time as your dive monitors click on it and attatch the card in the med preferances
it can be a bit tricky at times?
sometimes it takes me 2 /3 goes to attach it.
your ethernet card goes in the 1st slot then your graphics card and so on

hope this helps a little
mike

lopos2000 · 08 August 2006, 14:03

I changed the Voodoo setting in the P96 setting according to the instructions.
I also follwed the instructions provided by amiga-Mediator.co.uk.
But still no good. I can't understand why PCIINFO is not showing the Voodoo card under DeviceName. It should say Voodoo3

twizzle · 08 August 2006, 14:15

have you attached the card in the p96 pref / settings as until you do it wont show
you have to also rename the virge card to voodoo as well as changing the name in the tooltypes
before you attach it?

on my med i have to set jumper settings as well to match the ram used on the card

lopos2000 · 08 August 2006, 14:21

Picasso96 can't see the card. It's says 'No Board'.

twizzle · 08 August 2006, 14:35

hi pmed you give me a ring and i will talk you through it mike

lopos2000 · 08 August 2006, 19:22

Can someone please post their Voodoo settings (DEVS/Monitors) so I can compare them?
TIA

keropi · 08 August 2006, 19:31

I did EXACTLY as amiga-Mediator.co.uk says...
don't have the mediator anymore (nor an A1200)

lopos2000 · 08 August 2006, 20:01

That's a shame. I followed the instructions but it doesn't work for me. Unable to attache the board in Picasso96. But there must be more mediator users here.

lopos2000 · 31 August 2006, 16:29

Just an update. Everything is working fine now. It was a faulty Mediator PCI 1200 board.

Zetr0 · 31 August 2006, 23:19

thats unfortunate my friend, I am glad that you found the problem... lets hope for a speedy solution

keropi · 31 August 2006, 23:29
