[HP41] New storage drive on ARM (Raspberry PI2+PILBox+HP-IL+USB-Storage)
Hello,

a raspberry pi2-B v1.1 can be used as a PIL-Storage; instead of a cassette drive.
Headless.
See photography.
Content (by side of the pi2):
a) raspbian OS
b) boot from SD card
c) virtual drive on an USB
d) PILBOX and HP-IL required
e) shutdown button for avoiding data corruption at shutdown

PM me for receiving the installation instructions if any need.
Overall costs of the attached disclosed setup Pi2+box+card+button+usb-storage approx 80Eur.
Pi4 is already tested/working.
Use with an HP71 was already ok checked on a Pi4 but not widely tested due to lack of knowledge.
I suppose it should be ok for HP71B and HP75 since it goes through HP-IL.

New in this? straight use of Giesselink x86 Windows binaries 32bits of ILPER and ILPILBOX on an ARM-board;
ARM is NOT x86;
via the "Box86" ARM application &
Wine 32bits x86 linux application.

Update 1:
you can connect a screen via the free HDMI port
you can connect USB mouse/keyboard via the 2 free USB ports
you can use it as printer (ILPER is started in a LXDE environment therefore full usable)
you can connect it to the internet via LAN (this is a PI2 = a bit slow)

Update 2:
2 more pictures of the button (hole in the housing made with a DREMEL mill)
