Lightweight Busboard:
Mediator PCI 1200 LT
[11 July 2003]

Elbox Computer, the leading manufacturer of hardware for Amiga computers, the company that introduced the PCI standard to Amiga computers, is proud to announce expansion of the MEDIATOR busboard product line with the new Mediator model for Amiga 1200 computers: the Mediator PCI 1200 LT.

This product is dedicated to all Amiga 1200 users, who have not expanded their computers with a multi-slot PCI busboard as yet.

We know that many of you need only a fast, modern graphic card and a good sound card. This new, 2-slot model of Mediator is specifically dedicated to meet these needs.

Mediator PCI 1200 LT opens the possibility of using the best available graphic cards for Amiga: the Voodoo series; and the highest-quality Terratec 512i Digital sound card.

The second slot may obviously be used for other purposes. You can install a
Spider USB 2.0 controller, a 10Mbps Ethernet card, a 100Mbps FastEthernet card or a TV tuner card in it. The choice is yours.

Moreover:
If at any time you decide that you need additional PCI slots, you can easily expand the number of active slots in this busboard up to four. All you will need is acquiring a DIY set: the LT4 Upgrade Pack.

Mediator is not only a well-designed, reliable hardware. Mediator also means excellent drivers and professional support. Start enjoying these benefits yourself.

Mediator PCI 1200 LT features:
• 2 PCI slots (PCI 2.1 compatible)
• 66/33MHz PCI clock (transfer rate up to 264MB/s)
• 32-bit PCI datapatch
• 4GB PCI memory space
• Busmastering/DMA in all slots
• Compatible with 68030/040/060 and PPC turbo cards
• Ready for SharkPPC(+) G3/G4 cards
• Fits in any A1200 in E/BOX (Power, Winner), EZ-Z4 and Infinitiv tower

Included with the Mediator PCI 1200 LT is the Mediator Multimedia CD with drivers for Sound, TV tuner, Ethernet 10Mbps, Fast Ethernet 100Mbps and Graphic PCI cards. For the list of currently supported PCI cards see Mediator Driver Guide.

With a TV tuner PCI card you can watch TV; you can also connect a TV-SAT tuner, a camcorder or a digital camera. Although the full TV image resolution runs at 30 fps in the PIP window on your Workbench screen, it does not use the Amiga processor's time at all!
