Let's build a complete Mediator guide

[Acill]

Hey folks

I'm new to the world of Mediators and I've really noticed that information about Mediators is really fragmented. The official docs are not great, and most forum threads are pretty vague and inconclusive.

So, let's fix it. I've started a project on GitHub (https://github.com/Mediators/UnreliableGuide) to build a guide, and I've put in it almost everything I've learned so far about Mediators.

Since GitHub/git is a hard workflow for classic Amigas, I'm very happy to take fixes/additions/suggestions on this thread, or via my email.

The guide is written in Markdown, but I'm converting each revision to HTML and PDF. Unfortunately amiga.org's attachment rules are too strict for me to attach the files here, so instead here are links to the HTML and PDF versions directly on GitHub (which means you need SSL):

Let's go!

Very nice effort and needed at that. I will add to it when I can.

I tore apart a couple of the recent update installers and it looks to me like they include all of the previously updated drivers too, so I think you can just go straight for the latest update.

I went straight to the latest mediator install and then the latest multimedia installer with no problem after a clean install on my A4000T. I've also done it for a friends machine. The MM-up! disk that comes with them is out of date from the start and no point in using it.

Updated the guide with the start of a Troubleshooting section. Please, please, if you have ever had to fix a weird issue with your Mediator, please describe it to me so I can try and get more into the troubleshooting section

Great work on this so far!!
