Does not work on a standard 5V mediator. At least not in my A4000.

nexus · 18 August 2018, 20:55

someone should check this site out see if they are still in business
https://www.costronic.com
they have stuff to solve 5v mediator issues for those that dont wanna diy

also 5v mediator guys could use something like this they sell tons on ebay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Acrosser-Ar...oAAOSwZcZZ2cYu
that way you could mount that on somewhere maybe the opposite side?
anyways it would power and breakout a 3.3v pci bus
but you would need a pci edge to pci edge cable to connect both busses
also has to be a passive bus no bridges etc

K1 version is booting, had to modify for 5V Mediator usage like the Sonnet.

esel · 19 August 2018, 02:23

how is the performance of the k1 against the m1 ?

Not hugely different. I don't have an M1 to compare back to back.
45.0 FPS in GLQuake at 640x480.

Frogger plays some of my test videos just fine, 512x384 Mpeg-2 seems alright.

WarpSNES seems to play as well as any of the other cards.

ScummVM 1.8.1 WOS seems ok.

Now to order the parts for some upgrades.

esel · 19 August 2018, 02:50

Just bought an k1, cant wait to have it here !!

Thx Hedeon !!!

nexus · 19 August 2018, 03:13

um wasnt just him
i had this card planned over a year ago but was put on the back list due to getting the better faster stuff going
i see a lot of new people here i think you all need to check the wiki it shows the many cards we support
killer nic and sonnet isnt all

esel · 19 August 2018, 03:37

Ups Sorry i did not know that..

so its better to say thx nexus, hedeon and all the others who makes this possible !

btw. i saw the wiki but the killer k1 was the only card i can get for a good price.

nexus · 19 August 2018, 03:39

that works

but really just 3 of us that has made all these cards happen
grelbfarlk is the other
ofc this is opensource so anyone can join in anytime
but i have spent tons of $$$$ and time getting these cards
there are boards we can be making but those will cost considerably more to produce
this way is cheaper using what is already out there or what some may already have

Hedeon · 19 August 2018, 03:42

Maybe we should add a roles and responsibilities list to the wiki.

nexus · 19 August 2018, 03:46

start signing them up

nexus · 19 August 2018, 03:46

i need a 3.x radeon driver guy with 3d support someone get on it lol
oh and os4.1 support
be nice if someone made cheap pmc to pci adapters though
wonder where the other team member went wasnt that his job

Anyone on here know how voxelspace works? What I mean is that I get the following experience:

Don't initialise PPC, so voxelspace runs off the 68060: about 30 fps
Initialise PPC, but run voxelspace on the 68060 (via F1): about 10 fps!

So although voxelspace isn't using the PPC in the second example, comms seem to be happening between the processors and are causing a massive performance drag!

Hedeon · 21 August 2018, 09:16

The library identifies.voxelspace as a program containing ppc code and loads it into the memory.of the ppc which is around CHIP speed for the 68k.

Wrangler · 21 August 2018, 18:43

Ah! OK, that makes sense. And there's no prospect of the PPC being able to write directly to 68k memspace eg via the legendary Master jumper?

Marlon_ · 22 August 2018, 14:52

So, I just received the A4000 from trixster. Which is the best place to get a Mediator from (within EU) that is less likely to have the issues CMSJ and others had? Amigakit, Amigastore.eu or directly from Elbox shop?

nexus · 22 August 2018, 18:57

what ever gets it to you cheaper and faster just make sure you get a MKIII 3.3v black mediator
though i could never use elbox as the payment system never worked for me
i have bought from amigastore all 3 i have

Has anyone had the time to test the pci-e version of the killer nic yet ? (together with that startech.com adapter ofc) was thinking it might be worth due to the 128mb memory.

I have the Pci version here@home already - just waiting to receive my a4000 motherboard back from a tech that made some upgrades to it.
