It says pin compatible with older chips. Yes it can be very nice. First in amiga. I did it so you can do it on ragnarog. Bga replacing is not so hard.new chip is coming to you with its legs. Clean pcb and hot the cpu. I dont have ragnarog.but I want. |

these PPC's are about the easiest thing you can do
they are small and use big solder balls easily done with just a heat gun now having said that the biggest issue people have is not cleaning the pcb properly very easy for 1 ball not to grab and its a no boot situation clean,clean then clean again then use flux should have no issues then after ofc if you can preheat the pcb that will help you tons ^should always prebake any board low temps to prevent popcorning i have to always always do this there is no skipping i live in a high humidity environment Last edited by nexus; 05 August 2018 at 22:08. |

looking at the PCI ID's and filename, i bet the original generation PCI Killer Ethernet cards.
Essentially a 603 with 64MB and Ethernet. |

Ah yeah,
The Killer NIC was a very silly product for a very silly market. But theres enough of them around for basement prices :-) As for the USB port, i'm not entirely sure it supports Host Mode. From what i recall it was used for connecting to the QoS service, you could get a console to the BusyBox/Linux OS using it. |

Wasn't these cards running a small linux OS on board to take care of the network load so the main CPU didn't have to bother?

the pcie version are stripped of all that extra stuff and all they did after was upgrade the ddr to ddr2 cpu is same
so if those startech pcie to pci adapters work on mediators then we can use them they are transparent |

This is starting to look really affordable after all. If only the 1200 support gets stable enough, I can easily get into this.

It stands.
I’m just waiting for a ratte switch, replacement 2mb chip ram simm and Indi AGA Mk2 to arrive. Once they’re installed and working I can send it to you. You’ll still need to find a keyboard, mouse and Mediator busboard from somewhere. I’ll pm you when it’s ready to go. |

Yep, a standard Amiga mouse works fine.
Not sure about the keyboard and keyboard adapter. One of the guys on the thread might know about that. The cf card is prepared with os3.9 and bb 1&2 so you’re good to install p96, warp3d and the sonnet stuff once you’re ready. I’ll send a Voodoo3 and a Realtek pci network card with it. It doesn’t actually have a flpppy drive at the moment so I’ll try and get a gotek in place so you have a way to transfers files onto it before you get the Mediator/network card up and running. |

Disclaimer: These cards will never run something like Q3 without a mod (if that is possible).
Also, I'm currently debugging the added code (the library got 10% bigger) and at the moment there is still a very small chance that I run into something unsolvable. These cards don't have the full I2O as the other cards and perform software page table lookup. The first is untested, the latter has a bug in it at the moment. |

Yeah I mean PS/2 adapters work if they're for big box Amigas. If the Amiga->PS/2 adapter was for A2000 then a simple DIN to PS/2 adapter is needed. |
