The server is under a massive attack which started yesterday morning.
Unfortunately I am not at home on weekends to keep a eye on it all.
So if we go down, I will not be able to fix it until Sunday night. Fingers crossed we stay up!
I have also had to block and ban anything with HTTP1.x protocol.
So make sure you are using HTTP2 otherwise you will get banned!

Ok, so you were right, I should have been further ahead.

I changed the MFP with a new one, no difference.

Changed the BAD-DMA for an IMP one and then this happened.

The dma I used before came from my Mega, so I know it works, just doesn't like the STF then.

Sweet! So Icky should be at that point when he does the RW mod..

Don't know why the DMA would stop it booting though..

Can you move the mouse ?

Nope, sorry won't move on mine.

Incidentally, it won't boot with the keyboard connected unless the earth on pin 8 is connected.

Does the pointer move if you use the keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse?

Congrats on getting the first stable desktop picture.

Am still travelling so will update later tonight.

I have a feeling we are going to tracking the peripherals next as my keyboard, mouse and floppy have not responded during any of tests

Hold down the Alt key and use the cursor keys. Alt-Insert is mouse button 1 and Alt-Clr/Home is button 2
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.
