Elbox Mediator 4000Di

I had the A1200 version with 4 PCI slots and found out lots of Workbench apps where running jerky in Mediator screenmodes, jerkier than in AGA. Someone told me it was because of the way Mediator worked with the Amiga, still to this day I am amused more people do not notice it or complain. People just setup a nice WB and look at it?!

I am curious if A4000 version has the same problem, but not willing to pay 300 euro to find out, oh and I sold my 4 slot PCI Mediator and went back to Zorro cards instead.

If it was a config error then I would be interested in the Mediator again!

Can someone try Hippoplayer, Delitracker or Eagleplayer, play a module and open up a visual scope such as stereoscope or similar, does the scope run (react to music) as fast as in Mediator screenmode as in an AGA mode?

Thanks!

I see, I remember I asked Amigaz to try out some applications on his Mediator A1200 5 years ago and he had the same problems as I had on my setup.

So the A4000 setup is faster. Interesting.

As was told to me, the problem was not only Z2 and Z3, I had Picasso2 and it was faster than Mediator on a 6860 MikroniC Z2 busboard for A1200.

Someone mentioned the way the Mediator works is the problem on the A1200.

For example, I felt scrolling in Ibrowse was slugish with Mediator in a different way than Z2 slugish. Best example is trying out scopes in module players on the WB.

There is a thread about this on the Mediator mailing-list, but I cant find it. It was 6 years ago I bought a four slot Mediator for the A1200. Sold it in under 1 month lol.

Lol.. whats the point of having a mediator if some ****ty Warp 3D game runs smother and WB runs slower
