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!

You mean the KFF2? That's just C64 as far as I know.

I've just got the 35k switchable RAM expansion for the Vic. I cheaped out a bit, the Penultimate cart seemed a bit expensive! The only thing about the switchable RAM is the location of dip switches for the configuration needed - it just about protrudes from the end of the cart port, not good for fat (or possibly just normal) fingers! In my setup I use my own Arduino PRG/D64/T64 file loader or the SD2IEC. I created loaders for games with multiple PRGs like Dig Dug, Moon Patrol etc so they're D64 files which load with a simple LOAD"*",8,1 otherwise too much to do / remember to load them! I think these were cart games originally.

Happy with my VIC-20 setup except for the video quality. I'm tempted to carry out a fairly simple mod to convert from composite to s-video. A bit more research needed - my VIC-20 is the 2 prong power supply version, quite an early model, so the motherboard is a bit different to ones used in the s-video mod. It's really solid, especially compared to the 2 C64s I've got!

Sorry, I misread and thought you meant the KFF2 worked with the VIC-20. Had to go back and re-read.
