Amiga 1200 build - Mediator pci, is it worth it?

[haywirepc]

I'm going to build or rebuild an amiga 1200 project. I have to choose between putting it in a tower case or not.

Seems to me that mediator would be awesome, but is it worth the money?

I already have to buy an accelerator, internet solution, scandoubler and more.

How does the system work with RTG when you use stuff that bangs the AGA built in video? Do I need to manually switch things with some kind of vga splitter or what?


What about stuff that uses the built in sound chip? do I have to Y cable the a1200 8 bit outs with the soundblaster plugged into the mediator?


If you bought a mediator, what did you like about it? What did you hate?

Not sure its worth it. I may just stick with wedge case, pcmcia internet and indivision aga. What do you guys  think?

I'm leaning towards sticking to wedge case, pcmcia internet card, aca accellerator and inidivision...

Someone here donated motherboard, floppy, keyboard to the rebuild.

I need a wedge case, either from a1200 or a500. Also need floppy power cable, joystick port cable which goes from the motherboard to the back part of case.

I think I need led/wires to motherboard for this also.

I could really use a cf card set up with amiga os,whdload and the tosec games/demo collections.

if anyone has  these parts, please pm me.

Best regards,

Steven
