DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list 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!

Hello from the Netherlands..

Post by redhawk668 »

Hello there,

I’ve became a momber of this forum some time ago. I think it is time that I introduce myself. Ok, let’s go... Well, my first steps in the world of IT was with a Sinclair ZX81, then the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. From that I went to the Atari 8 Bit, starting with an Atari 800XL with a 1050 drive, then a 130 XE with a XF551 drive. When I saw an Amiga 1000 for the first time I was blown away, only this machine was too expensive so we bought a 520 STM with floppydrive instead, I really liked that machine and soon the 520 STM was sold and we got two 1040 STFM’s, one for me and one for my dad. When the STE was released, I sold my 1040 STFM and got an STE. In 1994 I went to the PC because I needed one for my education at the time. In that time I sold all my Atari stuff.

Fast forward to present time, I now own 4 Atari ST machines, one STE with a CosmosEx device, one 520 STFM, which has been upgraded with a Blitter and 4 mb (SMD soldering). This machine also has a CosmosEx. One STFM with Exxos 4 mb expansion and a STF with Gotek. Next to this, I own some Amiga’s, two 500’s (one will receive a TF530) and a 1200, Atari 8 bit stuff. One 600 XL, modified with Ultimate 1 mb, a 130XE, which I upgraded to 320 kb and a totally stock Atari 800XL.

Rest of my retro stuff, ZX Spectrum +, ZX Spectrum (this was a 16 K model, which has been upgraded to 48 K by me), both of them are refurbished by me. And three self built clones.

Yes, I am a retro nut. I taught myself how to solder building those ZX Spectrum clones and at the moment I am starting with SMD soldering. The TF530 is a great project to learn SMD soldering. My 520STFM is a late revision which is SMD, my dad did the 4 mb upgrade and I did the Blitter upgrade. First SMD project I did myself. Soldering a PLCC chip, at first not succesfully, but after resoldering and the use of lots of flux it has been a succes and the machine is still working with Blitter.

Well, that’s pretty much my introduction.
My collection: 1040 STE, TOS 2.06, 4 mb, CosmosEx - 520 STFM, TOS 1.04, 4 mb, Blitter, CosmosEx - 520 STFM, TOS 1.04, 4 mb - 1040 STF, TOS 1.04, 1 mb, Gotek - Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 1220/4 - Amiga 500 + ACA500 - Amiga 500 + TF530, 1 mb chipram hack.
