In an ANN Mediator article discussion a link to http://www.elbox.com/press is mentioned (for those of you who missed it). It contains pretty good pictures of the Mediator in action. Unfortunately it will probably suffer from the competition from the Predator AGP-board.

| Pictures of Mediator in Action : Comment 44 of 49 | ANN.lu |

Yeah - but there's a big difference between the amiga's cpu fast slot (like with PowerUP) and a PCI socket. Why would an adapted Zorro slot be able to do something my PC's (duron 650/Abit KT7) native PCI certified PCI 2.1 compliant system can't?
What your talking about are single board computers - and unfortunately dood you'll need one of those backplane cases (which will cost you well over 1200$) to use one of those.
Let me theorize for a few seconds - I'm guessing this PCI board for the 1200 is really just the logical part of the system that allow you to interface a S3 ViRGE like the CV643d (which is in every way a PCI chipset) to a zorro 3 slot. I don't see why its not possible (I mean after all they were adding PCI devices to the Picasso 4...). Thing is - its not a fully fledged pci slot. Its probably not intelligent, and I'm guessing that PCI compliancy has to be written into the Amiga driver directly - which is not how the Intel PCI chipsets do that.
Quite honestly - how do you map IRQ's from the PCI device to the Amiga? |
