Mediator PCI 3/4000T 3V MK-IV

Tarjeta de expansión del bus Zorro para el 4000T (original), el Amiga 3000T (original), o un Amiga 4000D en torre con una expansión ZIII/ISA, o un Amiga 1200/3000/4000 equipado con una expansión Zorro III de Micronik. Con respecto a la MK-III, la MK-IV añade soporte para adaptadores PCI y PCI Express.

The Mediator PCI 3/4000T busboard is designed to enable expansion of Amiga 3000T (original) and Amiga 4000T (original) with a wide range of high-performance, low-cost PCI cards. Mediator PCI 3/4000T fits also in other Amiga computers with Zorro III slots. For example: if your Amiga 3000D or Amiga 4000D is built in Micronik Tower with the Micronik Zorro III busboard, or if your Amiga 4000D is towerised in Power Tower with the Elbox Zorro III/ISA 4000 busboard, you can install the MEDIATOR PCI 3/4000T busboard.

The Radeon Graphic card includes 128MB of the fast DDR400 SDRAM memory. Up to 250 MB of on-board SDRAM memory can be used in all Mediator models as Amiga system memory! Also the Radeon 9200 produces the sharpest possible graphics and video imagery. It is the fastest gfx card for the Classic Amiga.

New firmware embedded in CPLDs of MEDIATOR 3/4000T allows significant speed-up of graphic card operations when hardware 2D and 3D acceleration is used in single-processor systems (68k or PPC).
