    Is there anyone here who use MorphOS PowerUp on an A4000 with a Mediator board and can use Zorro slot cards with MOS?
    I'm wondering because my X-surf doesn't seem to be found by either MOSNet or MiamiDX..it just says it can't open the device..both with the patched X-surf.device (Ariadne_II.device) and original Individual Computer driver

    delete the old enviroment in

    "SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/Sana2/x-surf.config"

    which is incompatible with the new patched x-surf.device.

    ^BUMP^

    I'm bumping this thread because it seems that no card is being found by MOS, neither in my Zorro slots or PCI slots by OpenPCI so I wonder if someone else has a mediator and an Amiga 4000 and using cards in the slots

    Might be wrong here, but if I remeber correctly somebody from the MorphOS - team stated that the mediator wasn't supported. If I remeber correct it would mean that your hardware is the problem. BUT I might be wrong!

    Yes, but that mainly related to driver support for Mediator PCI-devices due to the hackish nature of Mediator's busmastering solution (Note that the 68k-driver for the non-busmastering RTL8029 is working fine with Mediator 1200 LT4, when setting the memory window to "0"!)

    However, I am not sure about the Zorro-part and if there are any technical differences between those on a Mediator and the standard slots on an A4000 that make the access and using standard drivers in MOS impossible.
