A very simple question: can a Micronik PCI A1200 busboard be fitted in an Elbox E/BOX 1200 tower?


A more discussable question: which would be better to buy : abovementioned busboard, or a Mediator PCI board?
I know, it would all depend on what one would want to use with it, but I'm just checking opinions...

since u have a BPPC, why not get the ultimate pci busboard, a g-rex1200 ?
I had both a mediatorZ4 and a g-rex1200, I found the g-rex better hardware, and way more easy to install software.
Mediators rely on certain hacks, which are not the nicest ones, but work as long as u follow the instructions...

I was just wondering, because I maybe can buy a micronik busboard for not too much money. And I find the G-REX just a bit too expensive at €200+ (amigakit).
I don't want to spend that much money on a hobby machine

Plus, I need a replacement for my AMD XP2000 next year, which will probably be a Mac(book) (thus: expensive), so I'd rather spend my money on that. Or I'll get myself a PegasosII, but I'll have to think about that :-)

You want PCI slots? In that case you shouldn't even be considering the Micronik busboard. Its PCI slots are inactive and thus useless.

That leaves out the Micronik then.

Hm, maybe I should start saving for a G-REX then. :-(

I wondered before, if, for example, and Elbox PCI 'bridgecard' (like that that comes with the Mediator) could be used in the Micronik busboard to activate its PCI slots.

I would imagine that it would be possible to activate ISA slots on the big zorro/ISA busboards with one of the Goldengate or CBM bridgeboard x86 cards, for example
