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!

I've toyed with the idea of using one of those rover devices they use for bomb diffusing/disposal to work on it. :lol:

Also, did I tell you I don't do HW? (I'm a SW guy). :shock:

Received this kit this morning to build an ISA 8-bit breakout board for the Amstrad PPC640. This will allow me to plug in a XT-IDE, sound and graphics card. A little bit of soldering for this weekend if I can find the time have some other projects to look at first.

So does it fit internally, or dangle off the back?

This dangles off the back. I ideally want one to go inside just for the IDE but decided to just purchase this one to see how it works and think about recreating something inside.
