Title: Zorro 2 -> PCI bridge
Post by: utri007 on January 26, 2012, 11:44:10 AM

Seems that XSurf card has a PCI NIC connected to it, is it just bridge? Could it b e possible to add another card to it? Like Voodoo 2 or S3 Virge?

Mediator doesn't need drivers, cards connected to it needs and PCI is standard, so would XSurf bridge card do trick with mediator voodoo drivers?

No, it's not "just" a generic bridge,it's dedicated to the ethernet card. And mediator does need drivers, but they don't have to be on disk.

And the card in the X-Surf is ISA, not PCI.
