RE: HP-75C in Box, Plus PilBox
BTW this is what you want to use the PilBox I built: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6P-FTDI-FT232RL-...xycmBSs3lW

Seems like right now ebay only has the little FTDI boards with male pins, which isn't what you want, though if you have some basic soldering skills you could replace the pins on the board with a female header.

I will have to take a look a the board, but I think I may have wired it so it will get power from the FTDI adapter, in which case you don't need the external power adapter.

Anyhow, once the FTDI-USB adapter is attached, the PilBox software connects to the USB serial port created by the adapter, and you are ready to use the PilBox.

Whole reason for building it not buying was, at the time, a finished PilBox was over 100 euros and with the exchange rate, that was like $140 at the time. Probably cheaper now due to Brexit!
