I have to have show dead on to see your comment, maybe you're shadow banned?

I can confirm something's wrong by using an incognito windows.

It might have something to do with my user being new. Who knows what secret rules are in place for that.

I'm hopeful this will change soon, but who knows.

I just vouched one of your comments.

I suspect you just got hit by the spam filter. (But I’m not a mod I’m just a nobody so that’s just a guess on my part.)

Author here. I am amazed it made frontpage. openbsd's httpd seems to be handling the load well. I will read your comments if any :)

Great work!

I had thought about trying this myself but gave up after realising I'd not have access to Trackdisk.device from Romwack - Didn't know about Coolcapture/Warmcapture. I guess I need to read up some more!

This is awesome! I always enjoy reading about projects like this, even though I'm nowhere near a situation where I actually need to bootstrap an Amiga. :D

I guess it's the combination of computer history/nostalgia and the impressive level of knowledge that motivates me the most.

Please vouch one of mine?
