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!

A bit before my time, but AFAIK ,The best chance that I know of is finding a SCSI '1' 50 pin drive, less than 1GB. Thats the oldest kind of SCSI drive. such drives *might* be compatible with your controller/interface.

Though I would suggest getting , or at least trying to the demo of a modern HD driver https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... ?f=25&t=31

Well, but wouldn't it be possible to connect a more recent scsi hd by using an adapter?

You could, but I think newer drives wouldn't be supported by the interface.

On the Megafile 30 you're stuck with RLL/MFM drives. Megafile 44 (SyQuest) can use SCSI drives.
