… Given that USB to Serial adapters are now even cheaper than
back in 2005, I've tried one more of them, now based on CP2103:
10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc. CP210x UART Bridge / myAVR
mySmartUSB light
Somewhat surprisingly, it worked, though it's indeed slow. (I
wonder if I'd have the patience to store a few KiB's in the
MCU's memory. I hope to re-check PL2303 sometime in the next
month as well, as these seem to be much cheaper and easier to
find than CP2103.)
BTW, could the four dedicated GPIO pins of the chip be of some
help? As the programming interface is exactly four lines wide
(including /RESET), we'd be able to leave the RS-232 lines for
whatever other uses there may be.
