DMackey Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Very interesting! Are you only making those seven or are you making more? What kind of drivers does it take? So far I use dialup on my 1200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I use dialup on my 1200. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Neat! Interesting it's got a female parallel input. Done to get the device out of the way while using a standard printer cable? Also, can access +5v (pin 14) directly out of the Amiga's parallel port, but guessing you didn't want to risk the chance of people having weak or already taxed power supplies?

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 My bad - thought that was that fat female input there. Either my eyes or the screen or both. Command + to the rescue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
