Bricked XO-1

I have a bricked XO-1 that I'd like to make unbricked! From what I
can tell, the RTC has reset to 0 after being powered off for a
prolonged time, and from what I've read, I only need a serial (TTL
3.3v) connection to make it work again. I'm looking for someone in
the Seattle area that might already have the appropriate cable, and I
was hoping that someone on the Saturday House might have one. I know
that XOs have often been seen hanging around SH, so I thought this
might be an appropriate alias to contact.

Ryan,
I bet that Matt at metrixcreatespace (http://metrixcreatespace.com/) has
one you could use.

btw I know that Matt has (or at least had) and XO
so he may know a few tricks himself.

Thanks, I reached out to metrixcreatespace today and it sounds like there may be an option there.

Its fairly easy to adapt the 5v TTL to 3.3v TTL, all you need is two resistors (see: http://www.alfonsomartone.itb.it/moisxc.html)
