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!

Anyone got a lead on non-relabelled FPUs? I seem to always get ones that don't like >33MHz :s

Re: FPU Options
I purchased a couple from here and they both seem fine at 50Mhz:

Re: FPU Options
Hmm maybe I'm just unlucky - they look like the same generic China warehouse ones that I've been getting (from other sellers).PaulJ_2.0 wrote: 14 Jun 2019 23:44 I purchased a couple from here and they both seem fine at 50Mhz:

If you are game, would your rub the surface with some isoproyl alcohol and see if the markings remain or disappear? On mine a rub with IPA and the markings are gone :pullhair:

You may just have been unlucky. Both of mine are absolutely fine and only just get warm at 50MHz

Re: FPU Options
The majority of FPUs I've got from China haven't been relabelled but even then it's about 1 in 3 failures (no boot) so unfortunately it's a case of order more than you need.
Btw, I've had 20s that work at 50mhz.

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: FPU Options
My personal preference for this sort of thing is to avoid any seller that references China, since its probably an indication you'll be taking pot luck with whatever you're buying.
You might get a 68882 that'll run @ 50Mhz, but you might get something that isn't actually a 68882 at all, and won't work at any speed.
I'd suggest looking for individual sellers who are selling small amounts, and whose other items are also computer related. The seller in that link has a ton of other stuff such as household goods and beauty products that just shout that they are selling whatever they can get their hands on.
I got a pair of 40Mhz 68882s or just £10, both 100% fine, using the approach above.
