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!

Well I didn't go to socketing everything @stephen_usher. Too much time to do and a bit redundant really.

So here is the board - recapped, issue 2 fixes, RAM modules.

ULA and UHF module removed and replaced with vLA82+ and internal video socket.

So, you basically replaced all the video circuitry so that you no-longer need the +12V rail at all, as well as not needing the -5V. :-)
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.
