Post by: 3246251196 on October 30, 2017, 08:56:57 PM
Hello all. Will there be any problems with the mmeditor mentioned in the title and a blizzard 1260 rev5 and radeon 9250 128mb.

@ 3246251196;

should be ok as I've got basically same setup (my 060 is an Apollo and typcially they're more finicky with the mediator than the Blizz boards) working fine in my 1200T, don't forget to download the latest pci.library from Elbox's site as there was a very recent update

It should work fine or actually great. 060 plus Radon will give you really, really nice Amiga OS 3.9 experience.

You might need to buy upgraded mach chips for it if it has not been done already.
It must been around 17 years since i upgraded mine with the multimedia mach chips so i have forgotten why i bought them but iirc it was needed to use any of the better drivers with the first mediator board (later boards was sold with them?)

I was using mine with a b1260 and for a short while i had one Radeon in it because i modded the card to work with mediators and i didn't want to risk to blow my Mediator4000 incase my mod was bad.

Now, I see. I don't think Radeon works with first Mediator, just get some cheap S3 Virge. I used it and it works fine.

@ smf
shouldn’t be a problem updating mach chips as I just ordered them from Elbox and installed them myself though I recall it depends on serial no of mediator board as i rememeber them asking me for it as some versions were not upgradable

@ OP

contact Elbox and find out about Mach chips
