After having read throught this thread it seems that most, if not all people agree that using the Sonnet PCI card is impossible on the Mediator. DMA is the reason, also 3.3v vs. 5v seems to be an issue.


DMA works on PCI-PCI transfers and there is no need for DMA PCI-Amiga motherboard memory transers, if OS4 is running on the SharkPPC, because you'll be moving the video and audio onto the PCI bus anyway.
The A1200 motherboard will merely be a dongle to get around the restrictive 2001 agreement.

Also, I emailed Elbox the 13th of August, asking them on this issue. Some have reported to at least get the answer which is in their FAQ, which is "when OS 4 is out".

The subject of my email to them was "Information about your mediator product and related", it contained four questions presented in a civil and polite manner.


Try using the the default subjects from the Elbox website rather than your own, e.g. Sales request: when using sales@elbox.com

I made a support enquiry with them recently, and got some answers to questions I'd slipped in about the SharkPPC and Dragon.
