Does this include all the hardware needed to connect my Amiga 500 to the internet, and the only item I need is to buy a power supply and download and configure the appropriate software form lafalla side?

Yes, this Plipbox offered here allows you to connect to the Internet without any additional requirements. You don’t need anything else. I ship the device driver on a floppy disk together with the Plipbox. I can offer you a power supply unit if you need one (DC 9V / European connector) for additional 4 USD. But you can alternatively power the Plipbox by a normal USB charger (e.g. from a cell-phone or mp3-player). You will see these two options on the rear side of the Plipbox on the pictures (where the Ethernet socket is); there you find a round barrel power jack (DC 9V) and a USB socket (you can use one or the other for powering the Plipbox).

On the website of lafalla, there's a nice tutorial to set up the tcp/ip stack on the Amiga. It's easy. I can support you if you have problems.
 
Thank you for the detail explanation. I have seen a you tube video on how to set it up on the Amiga 500. However my Amiga does not have CF or hard disk capabilities.
My Amiga 2000 has a hard disk, so I assume your Plipbox works on an Amiga 2000 also, I will give it try early next month after all my bills are paid.
 
Can these be used with a 1000 and a gender changer?

I have recently designed a special PCB/Plipbox for the A1000 with a female connector. I will be ready to ship in about two weeks. Are you interested?

Yes, I'd be interested in that. Would the price be about the same? I'd probably want 2 for the A1000 and 2 for the A500.

Just PM me when you are ready.

Thanks

A hard drive is recommended. Altough, you can use a network boot disk like described here in chapter "2.2 AmiTCP with Network Boot Disk". For using a browser, you'll need a 68020 CPU or higher, but with a plain 68000 you may use a FTP client and share files with other maschines (windows/macosx/linux) by using the Samba file sharing protocol.

Yes, the price for the A1000 version is the same. You can me tell the colors and labels in advance, so that I can pre-produce the cases. I will send you a PM.

These look great !
Declaring interest for 2 plipboxes with the generic Amiga 'label' in white to Australia.
Thanks :)
 
I want to buy the card for A500 with the A560 label on it and I want the color to match IDENTICALLY 100% to the color of the Amiga 500 case please!

Payment sent. Thanks!
 
Thanks for creating these, they look brilliant! Can you send me a price for one card with the generic Amiga text in caffeine latte for the UK please, with PayPal payment?
:)
 
I send Payment.

Thanks. The Plipbox is with priority service on the way to Woking. Hope you receive it before x-mas :-)
