Re: FREE Radeon 9250 gfx card with Mediator

I have thought about getting a Mediator over the years, but never took the leap to using PCI cards in an Amiga.  Even though I have tried to swear off from buying any more Amiga hardware over a year ago (which did not work as evidenced by my new Deneb & Indivisions for both my A1200 and A4000 among a few other purchases), I am very tempted to take advantage of this offer if they have not already sold out of the free Radeon 9250 graphics cards.

It would be good for running MorphOS1.4 for Phase5 PPC cards, would it not?

Edit:  Owners of Amiga systems with Mediator boards please contact me via PMail or email with advice and your personal experiences with Mediator boards.  I am interested in building an Ultimate Classic Amiga, but would probably still want to run a Video Toaster/Flyer 4000 cards in it too if that is possible with the Mediator 4000D model that has all those Zorro and PCI slots as well as one Video Slot.  Thanks

@Piru,

Really?  I thought it would not have anything to do with Elbox or the Mediator if a Radeon 9250 was available for use in my A4000D/T (not A1200 in a tower) MorphOS 1.4.x for the Classic Amigas with the Phase5 PPC cards would see it and use it.

Are you saying because Elbox is impossible to work with MorphOS1.4.x for Classic Amigas cannot see the Radeon 9250 to use it?  That sucks!

Edit:  That just about eliminates more than half the reason for me to even want the Mediator w/Radeon 9250 graphics card.  I guess it only makes sense that the graphics card has to go through the Mediator, so MorphOS1.4.x would need to have a driver that worked with the Mediator.  

Damn shame, Elbox no working with MorphOS means no purchase by me.
