SparkFun has roughly the same USB adapter (made by them) for a few bucks less
here.
But SparkFun is kind of slow sometimes -- still waiting for it to arrive.
I need to build that darn ICSP cable myself, and a board to put ATMegas into.
EDIT: Got my SparkFun adapter today, and it is TINY! It's a perfect size match for the RBBB. My only concern is that it has +3.3v marked as the input where RBBB says it's connected to +5v...
EDIT #2: Looks like SparkFun's adapter isn't a direct match -- it won't supply +5v like the FTDI cable
I don't know why they didn't hook up +5v like FTDI (and what's more worrying is that they don't mention the difference!)
