Elbox: Black MEDIATORS Available

?

Current EUR --> USD exchange rates are the lowest they've been in a decade.  These would be $346.64 USD not $600.  If I owned a 4000D I'd snap one of these up in a heartbeat.  :hammer:

I dunno, man.  I'm waffling on it.  I have a 4000D with a Picasso IV and a Deneb USB.  I have a difficult time justifying it for this system since between these two cards I have everything I need.

Now, if I were to go on a hoarder rampage, I might to build another desktop system or to hold onto as the collectible value will inevitably increase and some collector might pay me a nice premium in the future.

I guess.  In any case, I'm just not compelled right now.  Not saying I couldn't be persuaded for that price, but I just can't bring myself to it.

Absolutely. Considering what you get technically out of Mediator (GPU, network, sound etc.) this solution is much better and cheaper then anything out there. Picasso IV vs. Voodoo 3 or 4 or... Only one exception is problem of putting PC cards into Amiga :spitting on the floor: and using Sound Blaster to listen Amiga mods :never!: . (I can't play Canon Fodder theme under UAE it is just wrong )

PS. Amigakit will deliver Mediator within week...

You're both right, but I already have the two cards and I have an 1152x768 24-bit Workbench with built-in 15kHz FF/SD and pass-through, 100Mb/s network, USB sound, wireless USB keyboard/mouse, and USB card reader.  I couldn't justify replacing this setup.  But it's a really good price for Amiga PCI.

Plus, that just sounds cool.  PCI in my Amiga.  AAAARRRRRRGH!!

You don't have red LED... Time to upgrade.

It's not blue?! Oh, well, that makes up my mind.

GREX with it's direct connection to the CS PPC or Blizzard PPC gets 18-25MB (for GREX 1200) and higher for GREX 4000 - up to 40MB/sec).

If only one could be had

I have a GREX 1200 for sale on Amibay.

Haven't been to AmiBay in a while.  Guess I should head over.  I would, however, need a GREX 4000i

[LoadWB]

GREX 4000 are next to impossible to get.  If you do find one the prices are usually crazy.

Yup, that's been my experience.  But hope lives on.  After Christmas I'll decide if I want to jump on the Mediator.  How do native video modes work as the Mediator lacks a video slot?
