Mediator Multimedia CD 2.1 name version date location pci.library 9.6 beta 13 Dec 2010 Libs: Starting from this pci.library in Mediator PCI 1200TX working in the MMU mode the part of the Radeon and Voodoo gfx card memory can be added to the Amiga 1200 system memory (like in the A3000 and A4000 computers). You can even use 250 MB of the Radeon memory as regular Amiga memory!

Use MedConfig (ver.1.9) to allocate the required gfx card memory to the Amiga system.

i have just got my radeon working on the first mediator1200 i hope this works with this

for spider put in Devs:USBHardware

install posiden 4.4

delete the devices in trident

open a cli and enter:
AddUSBHardware Devs:USBHardware/spider.device 2
AddUSBHardware Devs:USBHardware/spider.device 0
AddUSBHardware Devs:USBHardware/spider.device 1

it will then add 3 devices

2 for each set of ochi ports and i think the ehci high speed part

Mine is set to 8.
envarc:mediator/SpiderBuf

had to put it in the last slot 4 and needs to below voodoo/radeon to work

Christmas Gifts from Elbox
[24 December 2010]

Elbox Computer wishes Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all Amiga users!

For a Christmas Gift, Elbox will release the new pci.library, which allows to use the PCI gfx cards' memory (Voodoo 3/4/5 and Radeon 9000/9200/9250) as Amiga system memory also for users of Mediators for A1200. The minimum hardware requirement for this feature is an Amiga 1200 computer with any A1200 Mediator model (1200, ZIV, 1200LT2, 1200LT4, 1200SX, 1200TX), a turbo card based on 68030 with MMU and the Voodoo 3 or Radeon 9200 gfx card. In case of the Radeon gfx card the new drivers enable adding even up to 250 MB of DDR400 SDRAM to the A1200 system memory!

For Amiga 3000 and 4000 users, Elbox extends the bundle offer till the end of the year for the Mediator PCI busboards for A3000 and A4000 computers with a special 5V-only version of the Mobility Radeon 9200 gfx card with 256MB of fast
SGRAM memory.

If you plan on purchasing any Elbox products in near future, do it by the end of this year. With the New Year, prices for most of them (Mediators, FastATA, memory expansions, etc.) will go up about 30%. This will be due to much higher costs of the components used in the production. Most of the necessary connectors and 5V CPLD chips are now very difficult to acquire and much more expensive than ever before.

download new pci.library (ver.9.7)
from http://elbox.com/download/pci9.7/pci.library

Copy new pci.library to the Libs: drawer. Before restarting computer
set up your Mediator variables using the MedConfig script (ver.1.9)
running in the configuration mode. For using gfx card memory as A1200
system memory you have to set the Envarc:Mediator/MMU variable to Yes.
VoodooMem and RadeonMem variables define how many memory is used by P96
system, the rest of it is configured as A1200 system memory.

You can always check how many gfx card memory works as system memory
using the ShowConfig program. Gfx card memory added to the Amiga system
has always specific attributes - $2005 (FAST). This memory is also
accessible by the PCI busmaster cards working in the DMA mode.

The speed of this memory from Amiga processor accesses is limited by
hardware design of the Amiga CPU slot interface of your turbo card.
This speed varies from 5 MB/s to 13 MB/s depending of the turbo card
model. The speed from PCI busmaster cards sitting in the PCI slots of
Mediator busboard is limited by gfx card design. For Radeon 9200 based
on M9+ chipset write speed is up to 128 MB/s (in the burst mode), read
speed is up to 50 MB/s.

this works great i have 96mb off my radeon 128mb
and 8 mb of my voodoo3 16mb
but can be changed to suit with the medconfig from the cd update 2
so this give me 230mb fast

hi wurzel what version of mediator do you have i have not had chance to try yet

I've got the 1200TX. I don't think it works with the SX version.

Also, downloaded the V9.7 library, seems to be very stable.

Just swapped my Voodoo 5500 for a Radeon 9200 with 256mb ram. I`ve now got over 400mb Ram in my miggy now

Got the Radeon from another bay, from a chinese seller, just got lucky I guess, that it worked
