OK, I got myself brand new ISA sound card today from my local PC store. Plugged in the second ISA slot, fired up the board, and Win95 recognized it, so the ISA slots are active and working, Cool!
so far, very nice, looks like I have full 486 PC inside my Amiga.
I have couple game installed on it and work great, the only thing I don't like is that WWF Wrestlemania and Descent 2 requires a CDROM to work. I was planning to install the games, remove the CD drive and play.


if it could recognize the PCI slots of mediator or Micronik daughterboards it would be even more cool :-P

Plugging a SBC card into a Mediator would certainly cause major damages.
The PCI slots can't be active for the Amiga and the PC side at the same time.

I have the same problem with an AtéoBus (which is merely an ISA bus with no DMA support): i would like to put there a Pentium MMX SBC that i have but there would be big conflicts with the Amiga.

These cards can only live with the Amiga in 100% inactive slots, such as the ISA slots of the A2000/A3000/A4000.


That could be true for mediator but old micronik busboard had PCI slots not accesible for the Amiga so i assume that it is only for SBC boards
