You can unban yourself if needed. It also sends me reports to investigate the ban.
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!

You probably need to start with whereabouts you're located in the world.

I'd second this statement, we can't help if we don't know where you are.

Also, you simply say "ST", so it would also help if you could elaborate on what model it is, as a 520ST is not the same as a 520 STF or STFM. Knowing what mainboard it is would also help.

Probably the easiest upgrade for RAM is one of these: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/store2/#0035.

Although there is a new IDE adaptor underway on this forum, it's not yet available for sale, and the only other I can think of right now is this: http://www.fairlite.co.uk/AtariKit/monster/monster.html

Why do you specifically require IDE & CF? Just curious to be honest.

Also, be prepared to spend quite a bit on this. The total cost of just the parts is going to be upwards of £140, if you then add on the price of somebody's time to do the work and the original cost of the machine you want to upgrade will be quite considerable.

Ultrasatan would be the best and easiest option for an St hdd.

I'm located in US (East Coast).
I need to check board revision, and I would rather have CF card installed on ide adapter.

I'm UK so can't help I'm afraid, but the info will still be of use.

I wish it would be done in US, but if I will not find anybody, will keep in mind your offer.
