I just got a Radeon 9250 in the mail today and cant get it working. I use an A4000T version of the mediator. I think the card I got (Diamond S9250 PCI) is a 3.3V version and I require a 5V version. I've been looking for a guide on where to mod it with a regulator but havent had luck with this model.

If you install it and dont see it shown properly in pciinfo shell command its not compatible. You also need to have an ATX power supply connector installed on the TX to get that 3.3v

I feel the same way. I have purchased 4 now that havent worked. I ended up paying the Elbox tax to have one shipped in the end. I just hope it works! Do you have the ATX power connected to the mediator?

the sapphire radeons work for 5v. barring that some mediators can be hacked for 3.3v if you have a atx psu.

like this:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATI-RADEON-256MB-R9250-DDR-DVI-SAPPHIRE-VGA-TVO-PCI-Graffics-Video-Card-/221984292456?hash=item33af4b7e68:g:vZsAAOSw3KFWfqZp

the order of the cards is very important


Well if the one from Elbox doesnt work well I know what to look for now at least.

Great news! I am looking forward to getting mine in. Did you change from a Voodoo to the Radeon 9250? This is what I will be doing. Did you have to use a native Amiga screen and start all new screens on the 9250 or were you able to reuse any from the Voodoo?

I am just wondering what process I will need to do once I install the new card.
