If setup properly with the correct drivers and patches they can run great, I think you're just pimping your sales Tension...

I have an A1200 with Mediator PCI and it works great.  There are Zorro options too such as the Elbox Z4 Busboard that even has a PCI expansion you can add later, then you can use your PicassoIV and other Zorro Cards.

The one you may have issues with is the Micronik Z3i, I could never get that going, but again with the correct settings maybe you'll have more luck.

The best option though (IMHO) is the Mediator PCI, I know you will have to use an Indivision or AV/Scart for native modes but they really do work the best and you can even take advantage of Warp3D from a Voodoo 3 which will be faster than an Zorro Graphics Card.

Quake for example can run in high res like 1024x768 and MiniGL :)

You will also have access to cheap PCI sound and Network cards and if you can do a bit of hacking you can make your own SpiderII USB card (or buy one from Elbox)

I have lots of project threads over at Amibay if you need any idea's, just search for threads started by me.

All the best & good luck with your project.

Steve.
