Algor USB in Mediator setup

[doctorq]

Hi,

I have recently put my Amiga 4000 in a new tower, and a part of my plans was to add USB ports. I have a Mirage PCI board in the computer so I would be able to use a Voodoo graphics card and a cheap PCI ethernet card, but zorro slots are of course there.

Now, I don't like the Spider USB, mainly because USB ports aren't available at boot up. Therefore I would like to use an Algor USB instead. The idea about having flashram in the board as well also appeals to me. In other words I get 2 boards in one (USB board and Kickflash OS4).

However, I just searched the forum for "Algor Mediator" and the first topic that comes up, has a topic like "ELBOX is going to make sure that ALGOR can not be used in Mediator" or something similar. Clicking on the topic doesn't help; I guess it has been deleted.

Basicly, all I want to know is if I can use the Algor USB in my Mediator equipped Amiga. I have tried to write to ELBOX, but strangly enough I haven't gotten an answer to my question. It has been a couple of days, and they normally answers back quite fast. I guess not when it's about competing products....

Anyone tried an Algor in a Mediator + Zorro setup?

So since Highway and Algor is produced by the same firm, there should be a fair chance of being able to use the Algor in my Mediator Amiga?

I think I'm going to stick with the Algor, so I don't get to many cards cramped in there.

Yeah, you are right, I could just as well have written to you guys instead. I didn't even think of that possibility, but thanks for clearing the issue. Better safe than sorry :-)
