DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE 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!

Don't know Phil... if you consider when@exxos received his boards he was pretty quick considering he had to straiten out some of the fooPAWS from the company that partially build the boards. :D :D :D

I think I spent a day finishing off the boards... I think the next day was packing them off and finishing orders to send the way... The next day one working I guess....

Going to try and get it all working tomorrow, I need to get back to the IDE boards now...

About 5mins ago :) Needed something a bit more expressive... I also added another one which probably will come in useful shortly ;)

Great result!
So 3/3 for exxos...that will not be easy to beat (even allowing for them being part assembled).

Gives me more confidence that the biggest risk to my two is......me!

:lol: :roll:

Ah, was the other one added for @rubber_jonnie by any chance?
:lol: :twisted:

All my top building tips :

1) Machine does not boot if you have the jumper links next to the blitter in place, with the blitter plugged in!
2) The keyboard does not work if the ACIA is in backwards!
3) Machine locks up accessing the floppy drive because the DMA is not pushed in properly!
4) A faulty shifter chip means nothing works at all!
5) Don't forget to solder the flashy clock jumper otherwise machine probably won't boot!
6) Keyboard floppy LED does not work, make sure you do not have a bent pin on the floppy cable!

I can definitely say troubleshooting these boards is a order of magnitude quicker than trying to diagnose a original board!
