Patrick,

If there aren't any takers, I've been using this[1] for a month now
under linux (host=x86_64, tgt=ixp420) and it works beautifully.  The
British vendor is here[2].

You could order the wire-end (-WE) variant, but I found it easier to
swap the pins around in the connector according to the board I was
talking to.

hth,

Jason.
