Hello All,
I am having all sorts of problems with my genuine A4000T with Elbox Mediator when I have installed Warp Engine accelerator in my machine. It works fine with Cyberstorm MK3 060 accelerator installed. A friend told me it's a common problem with the way the Warp Engine address the Zorro 3 space and it conflicts with the Mediator and I can't do anything about it.
Is this true? As I am going nuts playing around with with the three Mediator jumpers with no results. Is anyone using a Warp Engine accelerator with a Mediator card? I would love to hear your suggestion on the this subject!
Thanks in advance,
Merv Stent

This is not my area of expertise, but can I ask some questions? (1) Did the Warp Engine work without the Mediator? (2) I thought the Warp Engine was a 68040 based card, so why not use the 68060 card? (3) Does it boot at all? (4) If it boots, can you "see" the PCI cards using PCIinfo command?
If it booted before the mediator, try starting with the Mediator "Bridge Board" only with no Meditor software installed; if it doesn't boot then there is a hardware conflict, perhaps with the Zorro 3 Autoconfig memory space, and if changing jumpers for the W_E MMU does not help (Mediator has a ENV: setting for the MMU), then use the CS MK3 060.
