MAX233's sure are a ripoff.  the extended temp range ones are $14.63!
It's probably cheaper just to use a MAX232 with the damn external caps.
FTDI FT232BM USB UART Chips can be ordered from Saelig $5.75 ea, $4.25q100 - note $30 minimum order.
We also need pin headers/receptacles/crimp pins for receptacles, and probably a panel-mount RS232 port for the MAX233 version and some sort of USB plug for the USB option.  And maybe some Kynar wire for the necessary ECU modifications.
