I'm always scared that I'll get the wrong kind, since they seem really 
sensitive to serial layouts and cable types.  I've never actually known 
anyone who can buy them with confidence, except from an approved 
vendor.

Plus I don't want to sit there rewiring those tiny little things for 
hours if I do get it wrong.  If there is an elegant way to do such a 
thing, I will buy several beers for the person who shows me!  :-)
