Got my Mediator v1.0 Now What?

[XDelusion]

So I got my Mediator board from Astral today and am wondering now what software I need to get this up and running. I realize I'm going to need a case as well as a thing to bend my PCMCIA port, but I'm not sure what else.

I have the keyboard adapter which I also got from Astral, though I did not receive any software. So...

what softs do I need, drivers, hardware, etc.?

Thankx in advance!

I was going to drop a Voodoo 3 on it along with a Sound Blaster and Network Card.

Apparently the board is already upgraded.

I presume I'll be using the software from here:

Also, when I hook up a power pack to this, will i still need to run the regular power pack into the back of the Amiga itself or will the Amiga be powered via the Mediator?

Make sure your Amiga is in tip top shape.

I've got them both prepared and in top shape... or so I think.

What's a CD Key?

Do I have to prove I own hardware or something? And I have to pay to make the hardware I own work? That's like buying a car and having to pay extra for the keys.

Bunch of crap!!!

"MediatorUP 3.12 is the last update for these Mediator busboards, which are not equipped with the Mediator Multimedia CD. From the next update Mediator System Files will be part of the MM CD UP, the new System Files will not support Mediators without MM CD keys. If your Mediator is misssing MM CD (which is very rare, as all Mediator made after December 2001 were factory-equipped with MM CD), you can still upgrade it at some of our distributors."

In other words: be prepared to pay for the drivers.

I finally got around to writing Elbox (now that I'm soon to receive a PPC board in the mail).

Here's a pic of what I got. The Mach chips are said to have been updated...
