HOW TO MAKE A SUPERBASE DONGLE
By PARASITE of LSD. Thanx to DONGLE DOCTOR.
THE PARTS YOU REQUIRE:
1 x Female DB-9 connector (JOYSTICK PLUG)
1 x 1/4 watt 100k resistor
1 x 1/4 watt 47k resistor
1 x 600v diode
Wire
Soldering iron, solder, flux, and a steady hand.
All these parts can be purchased at any good speciaist electronics
shop or try Maplins.
ASSEMBLY:
pin 5 (1/4 watt 100k resistor)
pin 9 (1/4 watt 47k resistor)
pin 2 (600v diode) (silver band points away from pins)
pin 6 (wire) Now solder all four connections together.
AND FINALLY:
To use SUPERBASE, plug the dongle into joystick port 2.
THE ALTERNATIVE:
Get a cracked version. (I did!)
NOTES ON THE PASSWORD ENTRY SYSTEM:
This is an important message for those of you who keep personal or
private information with a keyword entry. It's a waste of time!
I got a copy of SUPERBASE from a friend who insisted on deleting some
data files on the master disk after I had copied it, so after he had
gone I used disk doctor to undelete the files (What a swine I turned
out to be!). Then I found the files needed the password, oh no! I was
beaten!, or was I ?. Using a directory utility I simply ASCII read the
files, which gave all the information, it was not coded, which I
expected it to be. A child could do it, (and probabely will after
reading this!). So bad luck guys, you'll have to find a better method
of security for your private data!
