I'm thinking that if I could convince the $30 Ebay jumper harness seller to sel me a "kit" that would work out better. Or if I could just purchase a prebuilt jumper and just re-pin it.
Aaaaah... brilliant idea!! Let me know if you'd like assistance encouraging the Ebay feller to sell a "kit" ... If it's basically a "crimp & clip" operation, I would definitely prefer that over soldering!

OK, thanks for the inputs... I'm a bit more at ease about tapping into the signals based on both your and Daox's feedback
