Yes, I know, but I wanted to make it myself.  It is a learning exercise as
much as anything.  I will buy another one and make a 5V version for my
FT-817ND (how appropriate that someone else is working on that model...)

Actually, I am in South Korea.  There is a cool parts website here called
eleparts.com, and they do stock the FTDI modules, but I got the serial
adapter at a local computer store.  I cut off the plastic moulding and I
am hacking on the little circuit board inside.

Best wishes,

Andrew
