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 :)

There is another small thought which I have just un-forgoton...

Someone suggested routing the MONO shifter output, to all the RGB inputs, basically so they will drive MONO to the RGB signals.. I think it was in part thinking about a intergrated UBE adapter..

Basically they should go direct to a VGA monitor and should work in MONO..

I guess anyone who has a spare video dac board could do some hardwiring to see this idea works okay or not..

Of course on a new MB it would probably require a multiplexer chip to do the switching.. But this shouldn't be complicated to do just needs the chip adding..

The slightly annoying thing is, MONO could have been injected into the analogue RGB inputs to the DAC, and the DAC could have switched between the RGB and MONO inputs, but we are using that function for the Blanking :roll:

Has anyone tried the v3 DAC board yet ? It should work as its a fixed v2 design , though don't think anyone's actually tried the v3 board yet...

Got the board but not the time :)

My plan is to use it on the STF Remake slim version https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 564#p17564 and not put in all the unused RGB circuitry.

I should build the board anyway and plug it into the current STF Remake to see how it works.
