the a1200's suffer from the 8mb windows, which means u cant have more than 8mb rtg ram what so ever atm...(wos bug?)

Even though WOS is famous for its' bugs, this one is not software. The 8mb limit is in Mediator hardware. No software can fix this.

It`s not really a Mediator Limit. The A1200`s trapdoor expansion only has 24 Address lines (24bit) which gives 16mb of available addresses


Indeed. But mediator doesn't really work around this limit, so I consider the Mediator flawed in a sense.

GRex (that connects directly to BPPC pci-like bus) has no such limit.
