Hi Amigans

I just got a nice shiny Elbox Mirage 4000 Tower! It has the Mediator in it. However my MMC multimedia driver CD is B A D. Can someone please help me? I cant access the pci slots.. I also dont have any docs on the unit or the mediator so any help is appreciated...

thank you much

Well here's the thing:

1. I'd have to order from Krakow Poland (elbox hq) no US dealers stock it. And I will if I have to :-(

2. I thought I needed the MMCD to run the Mirage and Mediator

3. I bought the box with no documentation so if there is any Mirage or Mediator owners that could help me get the cards recoginized or provide docs it would be helpful.

I have a Voodoo 3000 pci and a realtek network card do I need the MMCD to get these going?

TIA

Thanks for the posts guys..

What confuses me is for a hardware company to SELL drivers to said hardware...

:-?

Can this be right? I thought the MMCD was only for TV cards and sound cards and such..

I bought the whole unit second hand. (Mirage 4000 tower w/Mediator 4000 for mirage)

hmm.... I like the Mirage case. Of course not the beige part or blue for that matter ;-)

My previous main amiga was an A4000T and I like this case better. Its much smaller and holds more drives. And the integrated pci slots is very attractive as pc cards are dirt cheap compared to rare amiga parts.

The only thing i'm concerned with is that the Shark ppc is vapour :-(

It was a sad day for me on my Mirage 4000 Tower. I installed a Video Toaster 4000 card and when I went to launch the 4.2 software right when the Toaster is trying to genlock the 1084 gets all screwy and the Toaster wont boot. I tried another board so its not the card.

I was hoping to turn it into a Video Toaster FLyer setup. Is this possible? Can anyone help?

TIA
