Overview
Plipbox is an open-source printed circuit board by kuro68k, from the kuro68k/plipbox repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board with 10 parts on 26 nets, routed with 157 tracks and 8 vias.
It is built around the MAX3221CPW. Its parts include 5 capacitors, 3 connectors and 2 ICs. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

README.mdplipbox
PCB for lallafa's plipbox (http://lallafa.de/blog/amiga-projects/plipbox/).
Allows an Amiga to connect to an ethernet network via the parallel port. Very low cost, uses an Arduino Nano V3 and ethernet shield.
This PCB is 2 layers. There is no cost advantage to single layer when ordering from Chinese manufacturers like Seeed Studio, and two layers means no need for jumper wires.
In addition there is a low cost TTL to RS232 level shifter. It's entirely optional, and if fitted allows the Amiga to configure the plipbox via connection to the serial port.

Questions
What parts does the Plipbox use?
10 parts, built around the MAX3221CPW. 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 Plipbox KiCad files?
From the kuro68k/plipbox repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is plipbox.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Plipbox design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
