Special offer: Mediator + Radeon 9200 + 256MB

Good luck with that.  I cannot warrant purchasing a ZorRAM card without OS4 classic support.  Which is a shame, really, because I would have purchased 2-3 of them.

The ZorRAM card doesn't need to exist, really, except for OS4.  OS 3.9 is very very fine in 128MB or way less, which is achievable without a ZorRAM card with the most popular accelerator cards.  

That is why it's a bit perplexing to me why the ZorRAM product was released without OS4 classic support.  To me it doesn't make sense at all.

MorphOS PowerUP has been abandoned by MorphOS team so there's no sense discussing ZorRAM support for MorphOS PuP, either, which is also too bad.

It makes perfect sense to people like me with an A3000/030 that has been boosted with the old Commodore 040 (nicked from my A4000 when I put in a good CPU card) card that doesn't take any RAM.  So, apart from what I can put on the mobo, I'm limited to Zorro RAM unless I buy another CPU card.

As I'm not looking for blistering performance, ZorRAM will do nicely.

Emailed sales@elbox.com about the shipping on a new multimedia CD and one of those Radion cards for my Mediator 4000D.  Hope it gets through their famous email filter...

The speed of this 224MB of the Radeon memory when configured as Zorro III memory is practically the same as the speed of memory on the ZorRAM card.

So, if 256MB of memory on the ZorrRAM card is worth 185.99 EUR, taking Mediator 3/4000T in this special offer you pay less than 95 EUR for the Mediator busboard with MM CD and the special version of the Radeon 9200 gfx card
Isn't it a very nice offer?

255.99 EUR - 162.74 EUR (for 224MB of the Zorro III memory) = 93.25 EUR

Not bad at all.  I already have the Mediator4000D busboard installed in an Elbox tower.

I emailed sales at Elbox and got some very helpful replies.  I'm putting an order in today for the Radion card and some upgrade ROMs for my FastATA4000.

Cheers.
