:) The original fix I did move the resistor to connect to vcc.. But it wasn't actually needed because the resistor was actually already connected to vcc on one of the internal planes.. I did edit the post.. So should be correct..troed wrote: 08 Oct 2018 16:43 Is the description for RESET FIX complete? Icky has moved the leg of the resistor which is not in the description, but without it the cut tracks don't really make sense.
edit: Ah, read further down. Also the resistor connects to internal plane I guess. I'm not used to 4 layer boards ;)

DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

1772 DMA BUS SHORT FIX
This fix is partly classed as optional.. There will be no issue if just using floppy drive (That we currently know about). When the hard drive is attached, it could potentially damage the DMA & 1772 chips. It is also possible the hard drive or floppy drive could malfunction when the hard drive is attached.
This isn't a bug as such with the STF remake board, it is a inherent design issue which has only just been realised on the STFM machines.
Main topic here.

Re: ALPHA MODIFICATIONS
VIDEO BRIGHTNESS FIX
3 Resistors are actually wrong 15K when should have been 2.2K... However 2.2K (what I had to hand) still seems to dim, so I suggest 1.8K as the replacement value.
Change R91,R92,R93 with 1.8K.
(2.2K in parallel with 10K will be 1.8K also, I will have to do this as I only have 2.2K and 10K values)
