I am seeing about doing a run of the USB adapters.  I will get it all set in a day or two and let you know prices and such.
Hopefully we can get these in more peoples hands.
They are harder to get a hold of than FiedCat right now. LOL

or has anyone tried using a regular USB to UART adapter?
One user modified an old Block Erupter USB (those small things that plug straight into a USB port) to work with a Block Erupter Prisma;
[DIY] Tube/Prisma USB Adapter from USB Blockerupter

He notes:
You should theoretically be able to use any CP2102 USB-UART witha 1K pullup resistor from 3.3V to RXD in this fashion.

YMMV

Hey, that's great, thank you! Now to see if I have any of those laying around, I have a feeling though that I don't. But CP2102s should be easy to find I think.
