Hi,

I have a Mediator in my Elbox Towered A4000 and it flies.

I use this system as my main WWW computer.

With an old Voodoo graphics card installed it far outstrips any Amiga Video Card.

As for cost, I spent my holiday cash savings on it and didn't go on holiday.

I need to install the Spider card and that'll do me.

The problem with the Spider card is that you have have to register to unlock the USB stack and the author is not accepting registrations for Elbox users.

If you haven't already bought the Spider then I'd highly recommend getting a Zorro based Deneb USB card instead.  I have one in my A4000 and it comes with everything you need to have it running out of the box.

Interesting stuff. I'm eating it up.

What's the reason for a PCI graphics card it you already have something like an Indivision for the Amiga?

Will Amiga apps and games take advantage of the additional capabilities of a PCI graphics card?

The performance of the screen modes provided by the Indivision and the new monitor driver don't come close to what you can display (colour and size) if you use a Zorro RTG card or a PCI card in a Mediator.
