Does anybody know what those tiny coil-spring test leads are called, or
where to get them? They slide onto standard square header pins and make
a good connection, but you can twist and wiggle them off pretty easily.
(I used my brand-new, $3 eBay USB-TTL-UART dongle to talk to my Dockstar
last night, and I promptly bricked it by flashing only part of the
bootloader. :-( So now I need to resurrect my JTAG capability, while
connecting to one of those 2mm-pitch 2x5 headers.)

That's a good idea...any sources for 2.5 PATA to 3.5? Do they have them
out at Surplus Gizmos?
