>> but does not support the Mediator
normal because there were some problems between the OpenPci author and Elbox.

>> which had several times more sales than the now unavailable G-Rex
I don't know. I own 2 GREX1200 and I know as much as people with GREX than with Mediator  :-)

Hi,
as Piru told you, Elbox refused to allow Titan/B.Vernoux to build any drivers to sell their MMCD+chips... because Titan/B.Vernoux find the way to do that without the upgrade, but due to copyirght raisons he can"t publish it anymore.

OpenPci is well installed in MorphOS for PUP and for PEG.

And Titan/B.Vernoux has no more classic Amiga, when i speaked to him last month on #morphos.

It is normal that the G-REX is supported because it's a BPlan/DCE product like the Pegasos, B/CPPC, B/CVision,...
It's a full 32 bits bus (not like M1200 that is 24 bits), the exchange are clocked by the 040/060 quartz, and give more MB/s for the transfert between PCI card and CPU (who care about the high transfert rate between PCI cards ??).

Prometheus may have a better support than Mediator..

Maybe you didn't have seen that :

February 9, 2003:
- OpenPci.library v1.0 (with powerpci.library 1.76 for Amithlon included)

Information: The mediator support of a well-known company is definitively canceled because of their poor developer policy and their questionable attitude towards customers.
Keep the Faith !
