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!

@rubber_jonnie it does work very well, although regardless what test program I use the 6526 CIA chips always come up as failed, even if they are good.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

That's a bit odd, but I have been hovering over buying a diag kit, so happy to have it nonetheless. Will have to break out the C64's and give it a test run :)

Oh thank you, but I really don't think so.

I always learn and I'm not omniscient...

I guess I will need such a device soon or later.

Of course, the later the better.

Well you always seem to do quality repairs, so don't do yourself down :)

I've got diag kit for the ST, Atari A8's, Spectrum and now C64. They're all really useful, especially if you're trying to track down a RAM fault.

It's very kind from you, but you know, being humble is a virtue.

Arrogance is more dangerous than stupidity.

We all learn everyday, and sharing your knowledge in a friendly manner is something good.

Just look at all the stuff you do and share with others, without any feeling of superiority.

That's why I like this forum very much.

:)

Thanks, I'd rather share than keep things to myself, and I like the forum for the same reason, and why I've been here for so long :)
