Lol, I use an extention cable myself, to much of a pain trying to get at the port on the back of the computer every time.
The power from Pin 14 isn't enough to power the device, The Plipbox takes approx 170ma to run.
I'll be making more, Just waiting on Ethernet adapters again.... China delivery is so dang slow
There is a driver on the site mentioned in the first post. it goes in the devs:Network folder on the Amiga. It tells how to install it. https://github.com/cnvogelg/plipbox/blob/master/doc/src/amiga.md
With all credit given to Lallafa http://lallafa.de/blog/amiga-projects/plipbox/ Awesome job. He didn't want to make the main PCB that is used to connect the Plipbox to the Amiga's parallel port so I did. For any and all technical question, see the above link. The Arduino Nano is programmed with the 0.6 firmware. The power plug is 2.1mm for 5volts. You need to supply your one 5volt PSU.
This has only been tested on an Amiga 500. Thats all I own.
I am asking $40 plus ship via Paypal. I have 7 more units tested and ready to go. I want to thank every one who have supported my project and all the great feedback I've been getting.
If you want a legal copy of JD then you need to buy it BUT my adapters are ready to just plug in and play IF you have a Socket for the Kernel ROM on your board already. U4 is the one on my C64 Mobo.
OR you can order them from me and get Multi-kernel ROM adapters instead. $20 each + ship + Paypal %3.5
My adapter have Stock/JiffyDOS and an Autoboot Kernel in them. It loads the first file on disk after about 3 seconds.
JD Binary is purchased from Jim Brain.
