Finally ordered a mediator LT4 :)

[carvedeye]

I have just ordered myself a Mediator LT4 from Amigakit and I cant wait till it comes, I have got myself all the compatible cards for it already but want to know how hard/easy it is to get the Radeon 9200 gfx card setup so I can use it for my workbench display?

[carvedeye]

also What is the best most affordable option for USB ?

[carvedeye]

I had a look the spider but would prefer a cheaper alternative if it's possible?

[carvedeye]

There were people re-flashing NEC USB cards to work with the Mediator a few years back.  Some throuh this site and some on Amibay.  May be worth asking at Amibay and EAB.  If you're good at soldering and have an EPROM programmer you may be able to do it yourself if someone can provide you with the required firmware.

I will to see if there are any available on EAB and amibay, as for doing it myself I simply do not have the experience to soldier or have the EPROM programmer to do this

My Mediator came today, really looking forward to installing it but unfortunately I am at work until 10pm When I get in tonight I will install it and let you all know how I get on, hopefully it will install like a breeze with my radeon card inside of it

[carvedeye]

Well I have attached the mediator to my 1200 which is inside an EZ Z4 case, attached my accelerator and placed the radeon into the mediator and connected the power supply to the mediator and now it wont boot to workbench, I have then inserted the emergency disk along with OS 3.9 disc it will boot but my mouse does not work so cant do anything....please help me

[carvedeye]

Ok managed to get the mediator running and have installed the drivers from the cd along with mediator multimedia installer, ran the medconfig etc.. chose radeon 9250 for the card and chose 32mb of ram it installed all the relevant drivers etc... but when I go into devs there is nothing there? Also when I reboot I get an error saying "Unable to open mixer.library" any ideas?

[carvedeye]

Anyone?

[carvedeye]

Ok I have done a full re-install of OS 3.9 and I have ran the installer from mmcd install all the relevant software and drivers along with all the correct library's but how do I configure it to show in Devs monitor drawer?

Do I need to install Picaso96 manually?

[carvedeye]

Does it matter which pci slot I use ? I have taken a pic of the jumpers and the slot it is in, and I have also have a pic of the Radeon as well.

[carvedeye]

ELBOX says the slot does not matter, but you will find various opinions.

The instructions are confusing, but once you have run the Config program and rebooted, you need to run P96 using the Cybervision 64\3D card.  This will show up in the DEVS:Monitors directory; rename it to Radeon and do  "R-Amiga I" to get into the tooltypes and change the name here.  Save and reboot.  Then use P96 to attach and set up your screen sizes and color depths.

I have ran the med config program and rebooted but I don't know where to find P96?

[carvedeye]

Ok I have installed picasso96 and chose Cybervision 64/3D, Changed the name to Radeon, rebooted but I don't know how to use P96 to attach and setup the screen size and colour depth?

I have watched the video and when I have drag everything into its box and goto Attach settings to it still only says no board ?

[carvedeye]

I have ended up putting a voodoo inside instead and I now have it all working thanks to everyone who helped me I am very grateful.
