PCI bridgeboard selection
« on: November 12, 2008, 06:13:06 PM »
Hi.
I decide try to add PCI slots to my a1200 or a4000d.
I plan to use 3dxf, net and tv-tuner card in aos 3.x, 4 and MorphOS.

Many people say to me, that i must buy Mediator.
But looks like G-REX is faster than Mediator and better supported in some OS..(?)
Is there some troubles with G-REX? Why mediator?
At least - what busboard is better and why?

PS sorry for my english.

Aha!
MOS only support G-rex, and AOS4 only mediator.
Not good for me..

Can you please explain you last phrase, i don't understand.

Prometheus... is not bad solution for my a4000, but not for a1200?

And what speed of Prometheus compare to G-REX and Mediator?
Not all PCI card work with Prometheus?

P.S. What latest version of MOS is running on 1200/4000 with PPC? I can't find amiga in compatibiliti list os MOS2.

Yes, but i see g-rex and Prometheus on some auctions.
And I need busboard, that work good with my OS, and not what on sale today.

Its better to hunt for some old, but good, than buy new but not work.

But at this moment i don't know what is best sollution for me. So many limitation with OS.. :(

OK, And why Prometheus is worst?
Some card not work? Slow transfer? Some bugs? Not supported on some OS?

I already buy G-REX 1200...
And now I think that if it work only in MOS, then on a1200 I install MOS, and use AOS3-4 on a4000.

And again - what latest version MOS is running on 1200PPC?
