Hope nobody will give me any bad comments, but I just bought on Ebay a Mediator 1200 with 4 pci slots + 4 pci cards for 150 euro, shipping not yet included but this will be minimum 16,50 euro if it´s lighter than 5 kg and 20,50 euro if it´s between 5 and 10 kg ... good deal or not ??? Any comments are welcome because this is absolutely new to me ...

The slots all are filled, but can I for example remove the network card (still have got a spare pcmcia from a laptop) and insert a brandnew still in the box Voodoo5 5500 ??? Can I use two gfx cards at the same time with the Mediator ??? The tower that is gonna get the busboard already has got an internal scandoubler, so that would mean three pc screens ?! Can this be done or is AGA+one gfx card the maximum ???

The idea of removing the pci network card is only of getting one pci slot free since there are only 4 slots.
The idea of using more than one gfx card is in fact to use more than one (or more than two) monitors, and not a switchbox to use only one. I have used such a box for a long time when I had AGA+CV64/3D on my 1230 ... now I have got a little bit faster PPC card ... not top of the line but still faster than 68030  :-)

I remember that inserting two PCI gfx cards in a pc makes it refuse to boot. An AGP+PCI will work but not two PCI´s ... but that is PC  :lol:

Michael : did you also ´find´ a Mediator on Ebay ???

Most of the stuff I have comes from Ebay. Most of that stuff actually works. A very small percentage didn´t or did not completely, but that is a calculated risc that I take ...

And even if I can not get support from Elbox, there is always a superb intellectual website called Amiga.Org , not ???
