Let's build a complete Mediator guide

I think this is an awesome idea. Thanks for doing it.

The part I need that I don't see here is which versions of the software are needed and what order to install it all in. It's sort of glossed over.

You can't just jump to a full install of the newest software in one shot (as I understand it) so I end up installing an ancient version and installing each update.

That could be why I tend to have problems with my Mediator, I'm not sure, but I would like to see more specifics in that area.

Also, you mention:

The details here are unimportant, leave the jumper open
unless you have a Zorro 3 device which does DMA (e.g. A4091 or a Zorro
3 graphics card).

As far as I'm aware, video cards aren't DMA devices.

Should it be:
The details here are unimportant, leave the jumper open
unless you have a Zorro 3 device which does DMA (e.g. A4091) or a Zorro
3 graphics card.
or maybe
The details here are unimportant, leave the jumper open
unless you have a Zorro 3 device which does DMA (e.g. A4091).

I'm uncertain as to whether it's just DMA devices and mentioning graphics cards is a mistake or if it's DMA devices and also graphics cards, so I can't say for certain which this needs to be.

Glad that I could help a tiny bit.

Maybe you could start by writing how your's was installed in detail for people with the MM2.0 CD.

A list of steps and questions asked during the install, the version of the update(s) and links to find them, link to the pci.library and where to put it, etc.

So is it true that you can skip from the 2.0 CD directly to the newest update?

I thought that if you didn't install them each in order, you actually missed some files.

I could have sworn that even before the new pci.library, it needed at least 2 update installers to get everything.
