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!
Please make sure you are logged in for at least 2 hours
to make sure your IP is added into the firewall whitelist, thanks :)

Probably best I don't start on the 1772 AB swap GAL thing just yet then :P
Don't worry, there's plenty of other chips left to unf*ck yet :D
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

When this all gets incorporated into the new board we should call it the UN-Fu*ker!!

We should do something grand for the penthouse un-fu*kit board... something that towers over Icky's power supply with lots of connectors on it. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Wonder if my floppy standoffs would work for the PSU?

Might need quite a few of them by the time Exxos is finished. :D

Due to the board not having the right hole locations I had to improvise with L legs using nylon stand-offs. Super glue works wonders sticking those things together.

So some how your floppy standoffs would need to be L shaped.

Would be quite easy to do, what's the difference between centres?

I'll have a look as they could be a bit more offset than I have them.

Finally got the PSU into a position that all the layers of boards, shelves, extensions etc were ok.

I’ll send out dimensions tonight for the legs. Currently the nylon spacers superglued together are holding but they are not that stable. One looks like a honeycomb monstrosity. :)

Cool, I'll see what I can come up with, as I will need some anyway.
