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!

And with every expansion (except the ATW800/2) installed:

Ran a quick test and everything was OK.

The accelerated TT response is really impressive.

I have to see the difference with drivers in TT-RAM and all the speed tweaks in HDDRIVER enabled.

All this stuff is really worth the money.

Glad it's all working. I guess that you'll have to refit the VME cage for the ATW800 card?
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 something I plan to do soon.

But I'd like to finish other minor details before closing the machine.

I replaced my recapped Phihong one with this, it's so much better. The Phihong one failed on me once, it has parts that run way too hot. So I think this new PSU is far safer.
