README
README.mdThe parbox project implements an external device attached to the Amiga parallel port that allows to directly connect network or mass storage devices.
Currently, devices based on Atmel's AVR8 controllers are supported on the device side.

Questions
How big is the Pb base PCB?
It measures 58.4 × 80.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pb base use?
21 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Pb base KiCad files?
From the cnvogelg/pardroid repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/pb_base/pb_base.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/pb_base/pb_base.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pb base design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask cnvogelg before reusing the design.
