There is a seller on eBay.de selling complete plipboxes. It seems he has several, as I have seen a couple sold already (including one that I bought). Perhaps a bit costly at around 40 eur, though.
Actually, if you dont take into account the custom adapter board, the other parts are much cheaper with free shipping from china (both links are to BIN sales):
Hubba hubba, this item seems to be pretty hot.
At this very moment I'm working on a version in a box, and I mean a physical box, with all of the critical parts inside said box, so no danger for parts being exposed to external hazards.
The RJ-45 will be exiting 90 degrees CCW rotated compared to the Gbay version.
Price will fetch around € 55-60, powering the thingy will require some smart R&D, but that will be sorted out.
Depending on what's on my plate coming weekend, I might even be able to present a sample coming Sunday, wishful thinking or not? Time will tell, else it will take a few more days.
So stay tuned.....
Interconnected boards between the I/O chips and its sockets, with electronic switches
able to connect parallell port signals to either motherboard port or plipbox.
Small PIC on board with buzzer,
switching done with 3-button mouse clicks, updates I/O status during reset only, and
selection stored in EEPROM memory of the PIC.
Also uses mousebuttons to switch between floppy df0: and Gotek df0separare card
for this on floppy connector), Gotek sound effect in buzzer, and at last up/down
signals to Gotek (external display and usb), also controlled with mouse.
I am in the process of building one ATM. All the parts are from China and come in very cheap Once I have it all working I was considering trying to make a version using one of the ESP8266 boards in order to make it wireless
