Mediator and open pci
« on: August 18, 2010, 09:18:33 PM »
I have a Mediator installed in my A4000 tower conversion and it runs very well with the supplied Elbox drivers.

I also own a Catweasel PCI card and I noticed that 68K Amiga drivers are available for OpenPCI.  Checking the OpenPCI webpage I see that it is available to run with the Mediator.

My question is, can OpenPCI and the Mediator drivers co-exist or do you have to choose one over the other?

Any advice would be appreciated.  My goal would be to install a 5.25" floppy drive into my tower and use the Amiga to write D64 images back to real floppies.  After upgrading my PCs to Windows 7, I only have one very old PC that runs XP and thus can use the Catweasel.

Thanks Trev.  Sounds great.

How is the Catweasel driver?  What have you used it for?
