Good news ...... :)
Hi Guys
I Had loads and loads of trouble too but after 2 weeks of playing I finally have my system running things I have done are:
Fresh install of OS3.0
Fresh install of OS3.9
Replaced the Libs with the ones from:
http://phase5.a1k.org/index.php?driverslibraries
then loaded the Mediator Up date CD from Elbox website:
Ran the Updated Medconfig tool again from Elbox site.
Loaded the Picasso software selecting the CV64 3d, then went into the Devs folder and changed the CV64 3d name to Voodoo and did the right click and info on the icon changed the CV64 to Voodoo.
restarted the system
Then ran Picasso install again update and set the monitors up
Then restart
Then into Picasso ran Picasso96 mode and attached the Voodoo.
Ran test now it seems to run OK at 800x600.
But with my machine I have only got 12mb of ram a little hickup with the ram which I hope to get fixed soon.
What I have learnt is that Amibay is the only way to get this working as going through each thread gave me a little more. I have a Radeon now as well she is being seen by PCI info but I need more ram to play with to get her up and running so would advise if you don't already to increase your ram.
My system is:
A4000D 3640 25Mhz, 2 MB, 12Mb, Rev B motherboard with Buster 11, indivision AGA, Mediator 4000DI, Voodoo 3000, Realtech NIC, Radeon 9200, OS3.9.
Hope this might help I think my next purchase is going to be the Zorro Ram 128mb or maybe an 040 with ram.
@cougar: 3040? I know the A3640. Sorry for being pedantic.
Opps was half asleep you are correct just hold me up and slap me LOL:whistle:
Sado-masochism, huh? You'll feel @ home here...
BTW: did you visited the Atari section?
I have tried my Mediator again and it is still the same. I would say that mainboards are ok (unlikely for both to have same fault), mediator proved working, CPU cards ok (tested four). That is it. Life is to short and I have put my A4000 where it belongs - the loft :thumbsdown:. And now I can rest :coffee:.

Hi again my friend...
Really I don't understand....... I've tested with Radeon & Voodoo3, Steve also test with Voodoo5 and works fine.....
Radeons board (including the Elbox ones) are a bit difficult to configure in some systems (why? I don't know). But Voodoo's are simple to install and I think the 99.9% of this boards works without probs.....
Do you test also with Voodoo and don't work?......
