@salocinx
Are these devices shipped with the latest firmware? I also saw you were active on the Github project , are there any custom changes you added to the firmware on these? |

@th4t1guy
Hi - yes these devices are shipped with latest firmware revision 0.6. Since I meanwhile made a new edition of the Plipbox (not found time to update the initial post), I altered the firmware slightly. I added a "network activity LED" to the hard- and firmware. Nothing really big, the original firmware works fine on my Plipboxes too. Changes between classic and new edition: A.) 2x LED indicating power and network activity B.) added connection for the _RESET signal that automatically resets the Plipbox as soon as the Amiga is reset (also implemented on the classic version) C.) added PhotoMOS relay to automatically switch the Plipbox on/off when the Amiga is turned on/off (only working with DC 9V power supply, not when powered through Mini-USB port directly) The new Plipbox edition costs USD 69. The classic edition is still available for USD 59. Here are some pictures of the new edition: Plipbox New Edition #1 Plipbox New Edition #2 Plipbox New Edition #3 Plipbox New Edition #4 Plipbox New Edition #5 Last edited by salocinx; 17 May 2017 at 10:45. |

Nice work!
Is the PhotoMOS driving off the additional power led? I also noticed the network port itself looks like it has leds on it. Do those work? Does the _RESET signal connection account for when the Amiga crashes? (maybe it's sent when the system boots again?) |

Thank you
The PhotoMOS is driving of the entire Plipbox as soon as the Amiga is powered off (controlled by the +5V pin on the Parallel port). Consequently, the power LED is also powered off (indicating the correct state though ). Quote:
The Plipbox resets itself as soon as the Amiga resets, i.e. when doing a soft-reset with the keyboard. On a hard-reset (power on/off the Amiga), the Plipbox resets itself by the _RESET signal AND the PhotoMOS relay of course. When the Amiga crashes with a Guru for example, I am quite sure that the _RESET pin is shortly set to low by the Amiga; also triggering the Plipbox to reset (but not 100% sure, will have to test next time I get a crash). |

would it be possible to get a case printed for the plipbox for the amiga 500 parallel device that requires 5v? Its the taller version where everything is stacked.
