Mediator PCI 1200 SX is the successor to the Mediator PCI 1200 busboard. Mediator PCI 1200 SX offers Amiga 1200 users the opportunity to use up to 6 PCI cards, significantly improving the computer performance.

This is what the original Mediator should have been.  Now if the price was a little lower...................




Besides all that, I think this is a tasty product for A1200 users - too bad my BPPC died......

Not bad, 6 PCI slots would be a nice bonus. I dunno if I actually had use for that power control (or whatever) but I guess it wouldn't hurt anyway. However, I can't afford it due to the bathroom remont costing a lot :-(

I received a discount from elbox as a owner of an Mediator1200.:-)

I think that Elbox are doing a great work, but they must be work together Hyperion on OS4

IMHO, if Elbox want this to sell, they better clarify the SharkPPC/OS4 issue quickly. Otherwise more people would just be likely to ignore it and wait for an A1.
