@vic20owner:

If you don't like messing up your original Amiga case too much, yet you want more power, then perhaps it's time to move to A4000 and create something like this. :-D

Hehe, well...in m opinion Mediator is a much better product, at least in the A1200 range. I've had nothing but bad luck with Grex1200. My original one worked great, however since selling it, until today I've gotten 3 more units which all failed to work due to poor design. They were basically DOA. A.org user "lempkee" was telling everyone of this for years, but since I've had success with my original Grex1200, I figured he was on crack. :-) However he was right. You can search his comments on Grex1200 in the archives of this website. If it weren't such a poorly made product, then yes, it would have kicked the Mediator's ass due to beign faster, and for not limiting Voodoo 3 video ram to the ZII address space, however since it breaks and dies so easily, and since it's got less drivers out for it...Mediator1200 clearly wins. :-)

Grex4000 on the other hand is a totally redesigned product compared to the original 1200 version, and it's an amazing piece of hardware. It's faster than the A1200 version (I think twice as fast) and it offers DMA in all slots, unlike the A1200 version with only 1 or 2 DMA slots if you've got a patched Grex1200.
