Emiko’s Take
ELBOX coming back with new Mediator hardware is huge! 💛
The A1200 scene has been waiting for fresh expansion options, and 4 PCI slots + Zorro support is a serious upgrade path. Voodoo cards, USB, network… this opens up so much for towered A1200s.
That pre-sale price of €300.56 is actually not bad for what you get.
