Mediator 4000Di..should I or not?

[slaapliedje]

I have both a Mediator 4000Di and an Indivision AGA.  Doesn't seem to cause any major heat issues that I've noticed.  Then again, I haven't actually put my hand between the the two while it was turned on.  Could possibly explain my lockups while using the internet though.

It's kind of odd though, I would browse the net with the Aweb version that comes with OS3.9, and then it'd start to lock the system after a short while of browsing some sites.  Then I'd switch to ibrowse, it'd work for a while.  Then it too would start crashing the system.  So then I would use the Aweb_APL_040 I had laying around my hard drive, and it too would do the same thing.  

Then I updated my Mediator drivers to the newest.  Odd thing  is, I swear the card I bought from Elbox was a 64MB card, and I had manually added the extra ram to Fast RAM.  But then when I updated the drivers... suddenly I have 100MB of Fast RAM instead of the 55MB I had before.  Awesome, free major upgrade!

Otherwise my fairly stock A4000 (040 with 16mb of ram and above addons) is very fast for a 15+ year old processor!  

I haven't bought a Deneb yet, still trying to think of a very good reason to spend the cash on it.

slaapliedje: running your desktop open should very much clarify if this is a heat issue

I'll give that a shot tonight.  I went through and set up the hard drive again, and hadn't quite started browsing yet.  

Making an attempt to get AmigaSYS4 with OS3.9 on my system.  Probably did it a roundabout way (Installing through WinUAE) but it does seem to be working now, though a few things seem 'off'.
