1st I have to admit that I'm not an expert on the mediator  ;-)

The A1200-trap-door connector has only 24 address-lines limiting
it to 16mb. Out off these only the 8mb (ZII) fast-mem area is free.
(RAM on the turbo is mapped above 16mb).

PCI is 2gb of address-room.

Now this is what Elbox does:

Map 8mb of the Voodoo into the A1200-address-space and
than route all acceses to any PCI-card through these 8mb.

6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

I just see it's the A3000-version, and AFAIK that problem
exists only with the A1200 ....

/me is a bit confused

The Voodoo is the only (reasonable) GFX-card supported by
any PCI-adapter atm, and I'm sure that 99% buy a Mediator
primarly for the use with a GFX-card.

(thats why I never accepted Elbox in the P96-dispute)
