Elbox aggressive pricing on Mediator PCI busboards

[Paul]

"Following the very attractive pricing for the DRAGON Coldfire, the new generation PCI/AGP busboard combined with a CPU card, Elbox Computer introduces aggressive prices for MEDIATOR PCI busboards.

Effective today, the MEDIATOR PCI busboards, the best PCI expansion for Amiga computers, will be available for up to 120 EUR below their previous price points."

ah, they are trying to get rid of the stock perhaps? good thing they become cheaper...
I would get one, if there was a way for rtg to behave like on my picassoII, which automatically switches between p96 and aga output...

I would get one, if there was a way for rtg to behave like on my picassoII, which automatically switches between p96 and aga output.

I wonder if you could do that with a VoodooII? It would take a little work to get the RTG driver to work... because you'd have to draw everything as a 3D texture, probably not worth it

There are no Voodoo 2 drivers. I use a switchbox between my scan doubler and Voodoo 3 and it works fine. A bit lame when something crashes and you have to switch to see it but it's no big deal.

I also used a manual switchbox with a scandoubler and a Voodoo 3 when I had a towered Amiga 1200. It worked a treat with the only hardship being manually switching between AGA and RTG, which was not really a hardship when it was next to my monitor!

Hello,

I use a TV card and composite to composite for having PAL in a scren in a TV program (superTV) for WHDLOAD games.
Not the best because not beautifull PAL.

I'm not using second scandoubler and PAL screen because no more place around my amiga for a PAL screen monitor.

Mediator is the best for having 16 bit WB and 8 mb of gfx card are available for the system.

I regret to not know if an hardware exist PAL of mother board to SVGA of the TV card (or better solution) for a better PAL signal with TVcard.

Mediator is best and I'm happy to continue to use an amiga
each day with this hardware.

good WE.

I have a MEDIATOR PCI in one of my A4000 systems, very nice hardware. Gives that A4000 a new lease on life.

Yeah? I would have thought that the CPU is the main upgrade? PCI is cool and all that, but a cheap ZorroIII gfx card (is there such a thing?) would give you almost as much freedom.

Cyberstorms (any model) are the expense for A4k's. I've been trying to get any 060 card for years... they all go for stupid money... or when you get them are broken (past experience I have a broken Cyberstorm MKIII)
