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!

Re: Stuff and Things.
I used to own a 7800. Annoyingly I sold it about 15 years ago. I may fix that with a 7800+

Re: Stuff and Things.
Yes, but my X68000 has been completely recapped (including the PSU) and the CMOS battery is new.Higgy wrote: Fri Nov 29, 2024 12:32 pm @HigashiJun I suppose the Master 128 and X68000 share the same 'need a working battery' otherwise your messing with CMOS/SRAM settings every time you turn it on.
Oh, and their PSU's are guaranteed to need initial work done on them
Despite my conscience saying 'No' and @rubber_jonnie's wise advise, I am still tempted to get a Beeb Master 128... If the temptation is too strong and my will too weak, I will discover by myself the joys of the Beeb.

Still weighing the pros and cons...

Re: Stuff and Things.
Such as it's big and bulky and you only have a small space?
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Yes, that's one of all the other cons but not a major one though.stephen_usher wrote: Sat Nov 30, 2024 1:49 pm Such as it's big and bulky and you only have a small space?

Re: Stuff and Things.
Well, it's been a bit of a rubbish week. I've had either a cold/flu/RSV and being diabetic it's knocked me for 6, and I've been off work since Monday afternoon.
When you feel so ill you can't even be bothered to replace a socketed chip in something, it's not good.
Starting to feel better and fingers crossed by this time next week I'll be back to normal as I have to drive to France next weekend.
