Hi I was asked to look at a faulty Mega STE motherboard which has a couple of faults and just for fun I thought I'd take some pictures at work and thought I'd share. A Mega as you might not of seen one before.

ABOVE - Inside the 68000

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'm not sure why the 68k image has doubled it was only appearing once my end? The 68882 is the bottom image.

Re: Looking at a Faulty Mega SGTE
You'd added the 68000 image twice, once correctly and once as the 68882, leaving the 68882 image as an attachment. I have corrected it for you.UnderTheRain wrote: 16 Nov 2022 10:36 I'm not sure why the 68k image has doubled it was only appearing once my end? The 68882 is the bottom image.

Re: Looking at a Faulty Mega SGTE
Same reason as before, also corrected. When you're adding the attachments, make sure you use the correct 'place inline button' and avoid copying and pasting of inline image links.
BTW that image of the damaged track is cool.
