But what does it mean, that some carrier cards have 3 and some 4 connectors? Does this card work with sonnet? https://www.ebay.de/itm/184255849620...bf3e%7Ciid%3A1 |

Sonnet 7200 PCI programming

If you are talking about the PCI Slots then 3 is 32 bit and 4 is 64bit The 4 will still fit in the Mediator just the last part is left over hanging https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI-X |

I think the fine pitch headers for the PMC module are meant.
There are carriers (and PMC cards) with 3 and others with 4 headers. I'd suspect that this is about 32 vs. 64 bits nonetheless. You can even see it correlate with the PCI connector. |

@Hedeon
Is it actually confirmed that the Sonnet library works with the A3640? I have just received a reply from Elbox that says that executing from Zorro III memory only works with Cyberstorms and "other accelerators". Pretty sure I have read on here about someone else using the Sonnet library with A3640s? Thanks. |

Maybe that's a limitation only for Mediator Mk. Is? Which Mediator revision have you got?
Here is Elbox's email: Quote:

It works with both Mediator 4000Di V3 Mk-III and with Prometheus Firebird with Firestorm firmware.

Updated prometheus.library to 4.1
Fixed multi-functional PCI card recognition/set-up (e.g. NEC USB 2.0 cards) Fixed PCI(e) bridge recognition/set-up See http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=997765&postcount=1 |

So it turns out that the Mediator 4000di Mk. I is *actually* incompatible with the A3640 - it just can't execute anything from ZorroIII-mapped memory addresses.
I have finally tested my system with a CyberstormPPC (which was lent to me thanks to EAB user @reflex) and I could execute stuff from the Mediator memory without any issue. Which also solves my troubles with the Sonnet library and the Killer M1. I will also send a message to @gsoravil as he has been having the same issues with his Mk. I for almost as long as me I hope that this info will be useful to other users. |
