Elbox Mediator 1200 LT4 PCI locking up

[Bamiga2002]

For Apollo 1260 you should set Mediator jumpers as "Config=CLOSED, Wait=OPEN". Try also setting "Memory Window=8MB" first (oops you already had that).

You could try my BPPC-Mediator-Voodoo setup guide if that helps. It's mainly targeted for BlizzardPPC-owners but there's some general info too.

Could be defective MACH chips. As I now recall, I also had my problems with Mediator LT4 and it was due to some faulty chips - it was also locking up with Voodoo IIRC. After Elbox sent me working ones, replaced them and Mediator was working fine again.

Found my old thread on EAB about Mediator problem:
clicky

Coloured dots should mean updated chips. Try re-seating the MACH chips.

It's unfortunate you're having problems with the Med. I just tried the temperature on the chips and yes, they tend to get pretty hot but that's normal I think.

Give the Mediator a good'ol slap-around like you did with an old tube tv!
Have you tried with JUST the Voodoo attached? And, double-check that all cards are attached properly and did I yet mention cleaning the contacts with isopropyl alcohol?
Also one other thing springs to mind: try a different PSU.

Order replacement MACH chips perhaps? They are included with the Multimedia CD. But maybe wait for Elbox to reply first?

I had a Subway working together with Mediator TX and they co-existed nicely.
