Title: Mediator UP 3.12 and MMCD UP 1.28 released
Post by: DJS on March 19, 2008, 03:03:32 AM

The MediatorUP 3.12 update for Mediator PCI busboards and Mediator Multimedia CD UP 1.28 have been released.

The MediatorUP 3.12 update includes new versions of:
• pci.library ver.6.8
• Voodoo.card ver.4.27
• Virge.card ver.1.10
• MediatorNET.driver ver.2.9
• MedConfig ver.1.5

The Mediator Multimedia CD UP 1.28 includes gfx drivers for the Radeon 9200 series cards:
• Radeon.card ver.1.0

The MM CD UP 1.28 update includes also new versions of:
• Voodoo.card ver.4.27
• fm801.audio ver.4.10
• sb128.audio ver.4.16
• mixer.library ver.1.10
• FastEthernet.device ver.1.20
• tv.library ver.4.6
• tv.vhi ver.1.4

MediatorUP 3.12 is the last update for these Mediator busboards, which are not equipped with the Mediator Multimedia CD. From the next update Mediator System Files will be part of the MM CD UP, the new System Files will not support Mediators without MM CD keys. If your Mediator is misssing MM CD (which is very rare, as all Mediator made after December 2001 were factory-equipped with MM CD), you can still upgrade it at some of our distributors (http://elbox.com/buy.html).

Info on current versions is available in the DOWNLOADS (http://elbox.com/downloads.html) | Mediator (http://elbox.com/downloads_mediator.html) section.
The current list of supported PCI cards is available in the Mediator Driver Guide (http://elbox.com/mdg.html).
The info about Mediator-related sources you will find in the COMMUNITY (http://elbox.com/community.html) section.

Cool!
But I am interested for Warp3D.
Will Hyperion prepare drivers for Radeon like they prepared for Voodoo?

A simple suggestion:

How about releasing a USB pci card driver for Mediator boards?

And while at it, how about complying with GPL and adding offer for the source code to this archive:

The author of that old kernel no longer has the source, and when I contacted him, he was not aware that Elbox had it up on their site (it was just something he posted on mailing list (iirc) for feedback). Elbox also said they would put the sources up for download if they could get them.

So, the only option left is to remove the archive. (who in their right mind would want to run that ancient 2.4 kernel anyhow?!)
