Are PIL-Boxes still available?

[PeterP]

Quick update - we have a working prototype as well as protoype box. It is using USB-C, Pulse Transformers (those are the biggest parts, more expensive then the PIC!), etc.

The new board is much smaller, will allow in-circuit programming in case of upgrades etc, and will be integrated into a box with HP-IL connectors.

As with everything, its a collaboration with Jeff, Karel, and myself.

Once the design has gone through a few more tests, we can make a production run and have it pre-assembled. Users would only have to glue in the HP-IL pins (I have stocked up on those as well) or murder a perfectly fine HP-IL cable.

We'll keep everyone updates as testing completes and production runs commence.
