Well, I now have one. I should be getting scans of it reasonably soon.
Scans available:
From the pics it looks like it is built to take a 9-pin D connector -
even the mechanical mounting holes are there. That would make it more versaitile I think - a lead with the appropriate 9-pin D and whatever connectors can then be used for each relevant project.
It'd be a little tempting (for those sleepy late-night engineers) to plug a real RS232 plug into that DB9 though, which'll probably zap the PL2303 ;)
I just looked at the scans - that board is the same as mine - first picture, look at the pads along the bottom. That's where my switch is. I believe there's space for a SMT MAX232-alike on there, and inductors - i.e. the board is designed for a full RS232-USB serial dongle.
