Mediator PCI + MOS Powerup: got RTL 8029 working!

[Amigaz]

The only question now is if I need to install the OpenPCI 2.0 stuff because there seem to some OpenPCI stuff already in MOS

Did you already try changing the Zorro-slot for your XSurf? No idea, but maybe not all of the slots are "seen" by Morphos.

You said something wise there  ;-)

Going to try the lowest Zorro slot and see what happens
The X-surf sits in the 2nd Zorro slot at the moment under my Scandoubler and 1mm over my Voodoo 3000  :-o but some plastic films prevents sparks and stuff  :lol:

Dragging up this old thread, did you try setting the "swap config" jumper on the mediator card to closed?

According to the manual, this is the setting to use if you are using a Z3 graphics card. Perhaps this configures the mediator for using i/o cards which do not require a voodoo card for DMA buffer?

Unfortunately, I don't seem to have a RTL8029 card around any more (I'm sure I had one somewhere..) so I can't test it myself.

Never did that since I wanted to be able to boot into OS3.9 also without having to change a jumper each time
