What's the deal with the whole "graphics card hack" anyways and why doesn't this thing (or any of the Mediators, for that matter) have DMA?? :inquisitive:

Oh gee great, keep pushing a now out of date and dying standard.

PCIe is the current gen, and classic PCI is fading fast.



What are you complaining about, Nate? Seems to me that Elbox is keeping with Amiga Time and Standards.

*snort*

When PCI-XIV comes out, I'm sure we'll get a PCI-e setup from Elbox. Remember, Amiga hardware has to be 10+ years out of date to be "current"  nowadays.  :crazy:

Have you had any luck sourcing new ISA cards lately?

That's not me. That's Miki Berenyi, the lead singer of Lush and a former Amiga Gamer.

Actually, PCIe is far easier to impliment than AGP, hence why you'll notice that companies flocked to it a lot faster than they did to AGP.



Yeah, but it's current architecture.  :-P
