Mediator
PCI 3/4000T Comeback
[11
March 2004]
Elbox Computer is pleased to announce that the five-slot
MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T busboards are again available in
the Elbox
Online Store.
MEDIATOR PCI busboards for Amiga 3000 and Amiga 4000
computers are the most advanced and best supported PCI
solutions for Zorro III equipped Amigas.
Thanks to the comprehensive software support, five different
kinds of the PCI cards can be used simultanously in
Mediator PCI 3/4000T. It makes Mediator PCI 3/4000T
the most cost-effective PCI solution for Amiga 3000
and Amiga 4000 computers available on the market. Per
one usable PCI slot, it is more than 40% cheaper(!)
than the competitive PCI solutions for A3000T and A4000T
computers.
Order MEDIATOR 3/4000T before 21 March and take an opportunity
of our Winter
Promotion!
About the MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T busboard:
MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T consists of two boards: i)
the Elbox 3/4000T busboard with five PCI slots,
and ii)
the MEDIATOR PCI 4000 core logic card.
MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T is designed to perfectly fit in
the original Amiga 4000T and Amiga 3000T computers.
MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T fits also in other Amiga computers
with Zorro III slots. For example: if your Amiga 3000D
or Amiga 4000D is built in Micronik Tower with the Micronik
Zorro III busboard, or if your Amiga 4000D is towerised
in Power Tower with the Elbox Zorro III/ISA 4000 busboard,
you can install the MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T busboard.
You can install the MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T busboard also
in Amiga 3000 or Amiga 4000 desktop computers, but you
must leave the computer case open. For this reason,
in A3000D and A4000D we recommend rather installing
busboards, which are designed specifically for these
computers: i) Mediator
PCI 4000Di--for a standard
Amiga 4000D, ii) Mediator
PCI 4000D--for a towerised
Amiga 4000D, and iii) Mediator
PCI 3000D--for a towerised
Amiga 3000D.
Together with PCI cards installed in MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T,
you can still use your Zorro cards. MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T
and PCI cards installed in it do not collide with Zorro
II/III cards installed in Zorro slots. Half-length Zorro
cards you can fit directly in Zorro slots. To install
more than one full-length Zorro card you must install
these cards through a ZIII riser, which is available
in our online store.

Together with the MEDIATOR 3/4000T busboard is included
the Mediator Multimedia CD with drivers for: i) Graphic
cards (S3 Virge, S3 Virge DX, Voodoo Banshee, Voodoo3,
Voodoo4, Voodoo5), ii) Ethernet 10Mbps cards (based
on RTL8029 chipset), iii) Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps cards
(based on RTL8139 chipset), iv) Sound cards (Sound Blaster
4.1 Digital, Sound Blaster 128 and card based on the
ForteMedia FM801 chipset--e.g. Terratec 512i Digital),
v) TV tuner cards (106 models). Warp3D driver system
for Voodoo3, Voodoo4, Voodoo5 graphic cards is also
included.
USB is supported in MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T too. High-Speed
USB 2.0 (EHCI) and USB 1.1 (OHCI) drivers are included
in the Spider II High-Speed USB 2.0 controller package.
Software for the MPEG-2 Video and Audio hardware decoder
is in the final developement stage.
At present, there are 213 different PCI card models
supported in MEDIATOR! For the complete list of the
supported cards see: the Mediator
Driver Guide. For more info
