So, after 4 days of mucking around with 4 different cables, I FINALLY have some output, but I had to go through unconventional means just to get a working Serial Console..<div><br></div><div>Bought an FTDI cable and spent the better part of a week troubleshooting it, bought a replacement "3v TTL" Nokia DKU-5, only to find out, it was a Legit DKU-5, not the Knock-off I was hoping for, then had 2 standard 5v RS232 Adapters, but neither one was suitable, especially considering one spiked and kill my MAX3232 circuit, so in order to get SOMETHING working, I hacked my Palm Pilot, it has a Sipex SP385ACA RS232 Line Driver/Receiver , but operates natively at 3.3V TTL. So by tapping into the 3.3V Line Out pins on the SP385A, I was able to display the serial output, allowing me to finally setup FEL-BOOT. Will compile and install Debian w/ the SATA and Ethernet modules tomorrow and see if we can't get something working! </div>
