New Mediator 1200SX

Whoa! They kept that pretty quiet!  :-o

It seems the news catagories are a bit messed up though! This is in "Amiga Anywhere", and the Jeff Minterview was under "Amiga, Inc./Partners"!

Oops!  :-)

Edit: OK looks like the fixed it :-D

If only they would make a Mediator for a 3/4k that replaced the original zorro backplane...

They do! Or did you mean one that doesn't require a tower?

[xeron]

They did! It's for sale, you can buy it.  

And I can't recommend it high enough! An absolutely brilliant bit of kit!

If you are going from 030/AGA to 030/Mediator/Voodoo 3, definately.

I upgraded from an 030/50 A1200, to an 030/25 A4000 + CV64/3D (the a4000 is now a little higher spec :-) )and the difference was amazing! Everything seemed faster, even though the processor was slower!

But then upgrading from the CV64/3D to Voodoo 3 was just another leap again! (although i had an 060 by then).

Intuition really needs a graphics card! You can always get an 060 later, or even just wait for the SharkPPC.

Interesting.... how you can do this? old games on tv-gfxcard

Its nothing amazing... the TV card takes a PAL signal and outputs it to a PIP window on the Voodoo. And guess what? AGA generates a PAL signal ;-)

I'm thinking of making this modification to my A520 modulator to give an even clearer picture on my TV card from my AGA out.

I have an external scandoubler/ff, so I'm guessing I could still use it with a gfx catd, get one of those fancy montors with two vga ports.

Yes, that would work fine.

No offence to Elbox I'm sure that Mediator is a fine product but am I the only one sick & tired of all these 'hacks and patches'? Me want new stuff...

Relax, both AmigaONE and Pegasos are on schedule, new stuff is on its way. If you're sick of seeing new Mediators and USB cards, just don't read the stories about them!
