Since the MediatorZIV has the same memory window 'thing' as the A1200 I
imagine you are using either the MMU or NoMMU drivers. If you are running a
PPC in your machine you will need to use the NoMMU version of the drivers
(inc. pci.library) - I see you have a Apollo060 so you should be fine using
MMU version of the drivers (if you use Fusion though you will need to use
the NoMMU versions)

Nothing? You 'should' get a output to a new cli containing a listing of the
cards attached to your Mediator board.
(Little bit of my output:)
Pci Device 2:
VendorID: $1102
VendorName: Creative Labs
DeviceID: $2
DeviceName: EMU10000 Sound Blaster Live!
ClassCode: $40100
RevisionID: $8
InterruptPin: 2
SubsystemVendorID: $1102
SubsystemID: $8027
IOSpace0: $6400 - $641f

Thats correct because you obviously do not have the Mediator board attached
to the system.

Accelorator? (I HATE that word and I *still* spelt it wrong!))

Mediator? (yeah, two things)
I cant comment on whether that is correct or not because I do not have a
MediatorZIV (I am awaiting someone coming into IRC though who has and I'll
pass your email onto him)

Remove the CGX Monitor driver from the DEVS:Monitors drawer. You can not run
P96 and CGX at the same time.
I dont think it is a Graphics problem at the moment anyway because you are
not getting your attached cards listed correctly via the PCIInfo command.
When setting the system up remove all the other non Mediator related cards
from the system (only for getting the thing running initally!) - Remove any
cards you may have from the ZIV - YES - make the system as basic as you can
and if it works then, add bits back into the system until you find the item
that is clashing.

Hmm.. may have been best to keep the serial number to yourself you know.
I guess you have registered with Elbox and got the latest versions of the
drivers?
(2.2 NoMMU and 3.2MMU for the pci.librarys)
> VOODOO 5 5500
I'll have a word with the few people I do know have the MediatorZIV and see
what they say. I assume you have installed Picasso96 properly?
I have done a guide to setting up the Voodoo drivers on the Mediator site if
that is any use to you? Like I say though - the site is 99% MediatorA1200
based and I can only add ZIV information if people send it to me :-/

Hmm.. no chance of getting a Voodoo3 3000 then? I know the Voodoo5 5500 is a
faster card but the 2D support is limited and it is very unlikely that
W3Drivers will appear for the 5500. :-/

Hope you get sorted out though, try asking Elbox if you dont get it sorted
though as they have been reasonably helpful in the past. Feel free to
contact me privately
Someone may know about it on the Mediator mail list though (details on the
website in the 'Mailing list' section)
(Sorry for the longish post peeps)
