So BigRam wont work with a Mediator 4000 or in most cases it will?
ZorRam says it does work with the Mediator however AmigaKit does not have any available for sale right now.

i use a zoram 256Mb with the mediator and cyberstorm ppc. it works just fine. I have installed: radeon 9250,sb128,deneb usb.

I pulled out the daughterboard and cleaned out the motherboard slot and the daughterboard connector and slots with 91% alcohol.  If I disable the ROM update, most of my hard drive partitions will be inaccessible.

 I use a 120GB HD and only the first two partitions are within the 4GB limit.

The RAM board is the only Zorro III board I have.  I have an A2620 and an A2630 but those would not help at all.

I am kind of saving wiping the hard drive as a last resort.  Don't really want to lose all that effort.


I am relieved to know that it works correctly after a warm boot.

I may of missed this, but what revision of 3640 are you using(or accelerator?). are you using custom modified roms?
I have heard of cases where the term resistors on the slotboard were installed backward- may be something to check.

So after moving some cards around and making sure the swap jumper is open on my A4000T mediator I decided to try this BigRamPlus once more. Amikit asked me to see what it shows in early startup, and in every ZIII slot it shows as defective. Here is an example picture. Is this a bad card or a bad config? In anycase I am stuck with a board I am not sure works.

The 4000t with mediator is super picky on the card order,it could be you are running out of zorro3 space with the particular order. i will check with a friend who runs a 4000t,i think he uses a zoram but i am not sure.

Can you try it in a A3000 or A4000 and see if it shows ok?
