Elbox removed most of the interrupt code out of their sound drivers, I think. It is interrupts that mess up things.

The 8 MB Z2 window of the TX is split up in 2x4 with one part always pointing to the gfx card.

Two errors can occur: one is e.g. a move.l (a0),(a1) where both addresses are in PCI memory but not in the same 4 MB.

The other is interrupt code not moving the window and getting non-sensical data. Mostly input.device getting into trouble while traversing lists.

And Jopr, your mediator will still not work with the 8MB set as it does not identify itself as a TX but an SX. The TX is the only mediator with a spilt window option.
