Title: FS : Plipbox Parallel Port Arduino Ethernet adapter.
Post by: DMackey828 on July 07, 2015, 03:25:38 AM
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. These are tested on an Amiga 500 as that's all I have.

The Arduino Nano is programmed with the 0.6 firmware. The power plug is 5.1mm for 5volts center positive. You need to supply your own 5volt PSU.

I am asking $40 plus ship via Paypal.

I want to thank every one who have supported my project and all the great feedback I've been getting.

I ship USPS Small flat rate box 6-10 days to most countries.

I still have Plipboxes for-sale.

EDIT: Picture links are fixed, a friend brought it to my attention that they weren't working.

Have sent a PM - The amiga.org msg system is somewhat odd, as I can't seem to see anything in an outbox/sent items etc. So if it didn't arrive please let me know. Thanks.

I completely agree!  I think every A500 user should have one; and for those of us rebuilding systems, an external Ethernet is easier to download software when the guts of a system lay bare and sprawled out on a workbench.

I still have Plipboxes For-Sale.

UPDATE: The US Postal service just increased shipping rates, For a small  flat rate box in the US was $5.25 it is now $6.80 and for international  it was $25.25 it is now $33.95 for most of the world. These rates are  out of my control sadly.

Did some checking and I can ship international in a bubble envelope for $14.

I am interested in one (or two) of these boards if they are still available? And if you ship to Norway.
How much is shipping?

I notice that they now are for sale at the Amiga on the Lake website.
Does this mean that all plipbox purchases goes through them now?

Are you talking about these http://amigaonthelake.com/amiga-plipbox-parallel-port-ethernet-adapter/

I don't think these are the same as the ones he is selling here. They are just the bare boards without the really nice case that he is selling on the forums. I think it's also a bit more expensive than here because of the extra markup. They ARE made by DMackey828 according to the description.

I did notice he was selling them on amibay at 40 USD.

But I havent seen that case you are refering to, I can not se the case is mentioned in the amibay thread. And the pictures in this thread seem to be missing links. On the amibay posting it is shown just as it looks on amigaonthelake.

The guy that owns that site purchased devices from me and YES you can purchase from him as he gets his devices from me.

Are the adaptors identical if baught from AmigaOnTheLake, Salocinx or from DMackey828?
Judging from the images in Salocinx's ad, the adapter does seem to have a lower profile than the ones shown from DMackey828 and amigaonthelake.

Anyway, I really did like that A560 case, so if I'm going to order this later I probably would'nt mind paying a bit extra for the case.

I don't know if the actual guts are identical but the function should be the same. I didn't get the standard version, I got some modified to work on the 1000 so mine wouldn't be like the others anyway.
