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!
Please make sure you are logged in for at least 2 hours
to make sure your IP is added into the firewall whitelist, thanks :)

Unknown if it works, but worth a punt, as I have all of the other components standing by.

Floppy controller is WDC1772 (Ajax would have been nice), DMA is 001A.

That being said, I don't believe the bad DMA myth, I just believe the ST ranges were built to a low price with the cheapest support components, leading to varied DMA performance depending on which chip was fitted and what day it came out of the factory!! :foldarms:

EDIT: 06/01/2018. The board runs fine, and has now formed the basis of my second 4160STE. At some point it will be Gotek'd, get dual TOS and maybe will get an Ultrasatan. It does need some TLC though, as one of the SIMM sockets has damaged retainers, though it does seem to run fine without.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...
