[Repairs] Fwd: D6 Brick repairs?

[Steve Holton]

Can you give us a common-name description for the connector which
plugs into the XO (J1) debug serial port?

I've gathered it's 4 pin and I'm thinking it's 0.100 inch?

is there a DigiKey part number?

Have you seen this: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Serial_adapters

It's part of a RTFM that I created on RT for bricked laptops. The full
