DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist 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!

Update your old 720k to a 1.44 drive etc.

Floppy drive track display for HD drives too?

Post by Pacman »

I'm curious about floppy drive track displays for the ST -would they also work with HD (1.44MB) drives? Or would this involve some modifications?
There's an article in ST Format (October 1989) (scroll down to page 35 "Making tracks") which has all the details on how to build one, but as far as I remember, DD (720 KB) drives were the big thing back then, and not yet HD floppy drive upgrades.

For a track counter I doubt it make any odds.
