3V version of Mediator 4000D
« on: May 24, 2016, 10:13:20 PM »
We are pleased to inform about new version of the Mediator 4000D:

Mediator PCI 4000D 3V MK-III

Mediator PCI 4000D 3V MK-III is a busboard for the Amiga 4000D motherboard installed in the tower case. Mediator PCI 4000D 3V MK-III is equipped with five PCI 2.2 slots and seven Zorro III/II slots (one of them used by the Mediator 4000 Core Logic card). It allows to use the wider range of the PCI cards, including cards which require 3.3V power rail.

Best regards,
ELBOX COMPUTER Team




Information on the current versions of Mediator drivers is available in the DOWNLOADS | Mediator section. The current list of supported PCI cards is available in the Mediator Driver Guide. Information about Mediator-related sources you will find in the COMMUNITY section.

Will this work on an A4000T as well? I would guess no since the ZIII slots would get in the way. Its a great looking board, nice work!

Mine is ancient, like v1.0 ancient.

Is there an upgrade path or buy a whole new one?

What's the difference between all the versions? MK-I, MK-II and MK-III?
MK-III obviously has 3.3V support, but other than that?

Altrn8 + Jeff: Well, someone had to finish the current stock before they could start manufacturing the new version.

The best thing about Amiga hardware, even if you did buy it yonks ago it should still retain at least half its orignal value if you should decide to sell it and upgrade.

Turns out I was completely wrong. I'm doing my install this weekend and when I further explored the box it turns out I must be one of the first MKIII recipients! On top of that I got it for the older price. Big Elbox fan here right now. The busboard itself is still green but Bridge card is the MKIII version. Sorry Jeff you might have been the last of the last.

Alas, I have tried emailing their sales address twice in the past several months, specifically  about 3.3V mediators, to no avail.

The good news is, I ordered a couple things from them during the same time time with no problems.  If they carry them, I know there will be no problems getting them.

Just for clarification the link you posted is for the MKIII, but under the product info it says PCI 2.1, I assume this is the MKII description and is suppose to be PCI 2.2.  I just want to make sure this is correct.
