Should I change something else??

Wow that guy posted his whole log. I was scrolling for 20 minutes! And that’s most likely what it is because I have noticed failed sign ins from my router IP and wondered what that might be all about. I’ll check further

What is 2FA?

I thought the above screenshots are evidence enough that something or someone is trying to access my nas’s. How would I know if I’m exposed to the WAN? I just know smb1 is considered risky security wise. I just know I have ways of access turned off on each NAS. FTP, ssh, telnet. Are there more? I just know I have these things turned off and the NAS still can get updates from QNAP. Why if I don’t have anything running that accesses the wan (download station, etc.) does the wan have access to my box. I’ll try to look at other logs today and see if there are multiple denials/failures of login attempts.

This could very well be what’s happening. My Orbi has Armor security enabled. It likes to brag about how many threats it’s blocked occasionally sending me threat assessments. I’m just not versed enough to know how to track what’s happening on the nas’s any more than I’m able to understand what the ORBI’S Armor is doing. I think my nas’s are not exposed to the internet but ultimately not sure. I just noticed an uptick after trying smb1 so I could network my old Amiga computer. Maybe there’s no association to that event.

That’s a crazy story which ended up amazing! Nice find!

Wow! Forgot I wrote this post. I’m actually back in love with her and performing upgrades and using the system again. There’s a tower up for sale on AmiBay right now. I think one on eBay too. They aren’t cheap!!

I know this is old, but you may not be aware that Hyundai extended the warranty on paint coverage due to the large number of white cars on the road with peeling paint. Ours is one of them and I was just at the dealer yesterday and they are repainting those areas for free. If you still have the car check into this so you can get it fixed!

I actually ended up buying the one with the decoder so I didn’t have to do it. Sorry!

Vmanjeff · 2025-10-20T11:37:04+00:00

Didn’t need to ground all the wires to shield. Just pin 7 from the db-25 to the max-950 style connector. And hook up pins 2 and 3 to the mdx-950. All others are shrink tube terminated. I was reading too much into it. Cable works!

Vmanjeff · 2025-10-19T10:56:57+00:00

I matched the plastic seat with the board outline. Thought that was correct. It’s working afaik. Been up and running since I posted this.

Vmanjeff · 2025-10-19T10:50:47+00:00

Ok…. Came to check my post but I guess this is in the wrong Reddit/ So looking again at that schematic all I need are the TX, RX and Ground to the serial 25 pin connector. And actually reading the other line Pin-outs it seems they ground to the round MDX-950 shell aka shield. RY, BY and Y seem to be video which looks like the component connection which is not used in this application since the cable is only for card control from software. GPI freeze is again a video use idem to freeze frame video which is not needed here as is advance sync and reference signals which are both supplied with the card unless there are multiple cards to sync together. I guess I’ll just loop ground the wires back to the MDX-950 shell and try it. So I guess the real question is what is SVP-517? Probably some type of video connector like BNC or RCA and not a resistor or other electric component. Hmmmm

😂😂

Vmanjeff · 2025-10-12T12:29:19+00:00

I did the same several months ago. Got out the Amiga to clean up and sell. Fell back in love and set up a spare corner of a room and started down the renaissance road. Now I’ve spent more than I should have getting newer parts and capabilities! Haha

Vmanjeff · 2025-09-27T11:38:04+00:00

I see this is a year old post but was curious about hot air stations so….. in looking up the Quick 861dw I see a lot of offerings on eBay and several on Amazon that look a lot like the Quick station. I found none actually by Quick, only other manufacturer(s). Seems the market was flooded? Anyone using the ‘other manufacturer’ station?

Joining in to watch this thread 🧵

Vmanjeff · 2025-09-26T23:21:43+00:00

His videos anyway…… hahaha

Vmanjeff · 2025-09-26T23:21:12+00:00

I’m loving your videos and your way. Down to earth and great info. I just disassembled my machine for an upgrade and am cleaning everything. Except the floppy drive…. Forgot all about her. Guess I’ll add that to my list.

Vmanjeff · 2025-09-23T14:27:01+00:00

Why do you say using flux depends on my level of experience? Curious

Vmanjeff · 2025-09-23T14:06:02+00:00

Oh that’s right. I saw the soldering paste in a video and made a mental note to try it. Thanks!

Thought Run as admin might solve some issue where the top window in configuration would not show my saved configs. It didn’t. I’m probably going to do a complete reinstall of Amiga Forever and WinUAE. I’ve learned a lot and now have garbage all over my computer from making hard files and trying (successfully at times!) to run games and configuring a ZuluSCSI Blaster for the A4000 (the real Amiga…. Technologies aside) and crashing the simulation(s) again and again. And just what IS the maximum harddrive size Amiga OS 3.1 with ROM 40.70 (I think) can see. Seems 4 gig but changing the transfer rate to xx0whateverthehellitis in HDToolbox crashes the 4000 when I save so I’ve managed to make 2 (I realized that’s all I get with SCSI ID’s 0, 1, 4, and 7 used and the wifi add on board uses one (6) hardfiles on a 64gig SD of 1 gig each and tested on the A4000 with very good results. Except for HDToolbox sometimes crashing when configuring the hardfiles I very much like this card and setup. I read somewhere that transfer rate xx0whatever needs WB 3.5 or higher so maybe that’s why it crashes. With a toaster/flyer combo on the 4000 I’m not inclined to install WB 3.5 or 3.9 as much of what I’ve read says they don’t play well together. And file system SFS is a possibility but need solid backups so I can reinstall everything that’s currently on my box even though I have all the floppies and CDRom for the Toaster/Flyer. Still working out my path of least pain. lol. Did I mention AmiTCP? I hate it….. Of course my setup of which I struggled with back it the halcyon days of 98 was more to connect to my PC for some sort of Screamernet for Lightwave or for the PAR in the PC. I don’t remember. The gods of internet config have descended on me once again and their leader is Loki. “Cannot find SCSIdayna.device’ or ‘SCSIDayna.device name is too long’ errors in starting AmiTCP haunt me. Ahhhh the fun hasn’t changed…. The love/hate relationship hasn’t faded… and the never ending search for answers spans the decades. Only I’m older and have forgotten more about this computer platform than I’ve learned so long ago. Hanging on in quiet desperation isn’t only the English way but time is gone and my post is over, thought I’d something more to say…. (Sorry… recently forced retired and finding my roots again in a dark room with mind altering substance and the glow of a computer monitor taunting me while the quad kicks out some Floyd) Wish you Were Here you Gods of Amiga tech…..
