Ahh there it is!

Just back from warranty repairs due to dead U1 chip.
Two days of trying to get the amiga not to freeze when accessing pci cards. then this.

The voltage from the psu is correct, so I guess the problem is the mediator itself. The amiga and accellerator still works, phew..

Ofcourse. Still under warranty.
But this time I will send back all the pci cards as well, just to be sure that non of them is causing this (all cards bought at the same time togheter with the mediator).

And the setup worked so great for a while...
To bad.

But isnt it wonderfull to see that it's the new hardware that is failing, not the good old motherboard from back in the old days.
