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!
Interesting, my Dragon had exactly the same issue with the keyboard. Also, the key switches aren't the best...

The keys seem okay. They are about the same as on my TI-99 keyboard.

Mine are awful, not a patch on my Ti-994a. Possibly depends on when they were built I guess.

Does this one work with the speed-up poke without crashing?
JD
I have no idea what that is but will try it if you give me the info
Apparently it's Poke 65495,0.
Haven't tried it myself either.

That is indeed the one, some Dragons would hang, whilst others would work as it cranked the cpu clock to the dizzy heights of 1.8MHz; I have unhappy recollections of applying that poke then forgetting to revert it before saving a game, only to find i then couldn't load it back in

I'll see about trying it on mine. I assume that it's just a case of getting to basic, poking and then loading whatever you want? Just figuring how it might work with my CoCoSD.
1.8Mhz, isn't that double the usual speed? Can imagine it might be a bit wobbly...

Don't try loading or saving with the poke active, think you have to poke 65494,0 to revert it beforehand otherwise all the timings will be out. It was a common poke in type- in listings of the time, you'll know it's worked as the cursor will flash twice as fast.
