Title: Plipbox Flashing Caps Lock
Post by: 3583Bytes on April 11, 2017, 06:12:22 AM

I recently purchased a pillbox from salocinx on Amibay, the one with the 3D printed cases.  It works fine on my Amiga 2000.  

However when I plug it into my Amiga 500 any time I try to actually make a connection via Miami or AmiTCP the screen freezes and I get a flashing Caps Lock Button (over and over again) until restart.

Now because the Plipbox works on my Amiga 2000 I am guessing it is ok.  Also when I Query the device in Miami I do get the MAC address on the Amiga 500. It only crashes when I actually make the connection.

Also I should add that my Amiga is heavily modified some time in the 90s.  It has an AIDE as well as an expanded Agnus via a ICD Inc board.  The kickstart chip is also upgraded to 3.1 (in the 90s).  I am guessing it could be related to that.  But I though I would post here just in case someone ran into a similar issue.

Thanks

Try using Plipbox.device 0.5 in the 68000 Version

I tried using the 0.5 device but it made no difference.  i have not downgraded the firmware down to 0.5 yet.

Downgrading to 0.5 firmware and device did not help.
