Thanks -- a couple of these were new to me. Unfortunately, I'm still striking out on trying to find everything on my list -- Futurlec and Sparkfun are both good sites; the former has a really nice selection of connectors, which is of interest. But neither of them carries the R8C. Neither does Jameco. Allied lists the R8C, but doesn't stock it, and they don't have the FT232R. Mouser has the FT232R, but not the R8C. Think & Tinker looks like a great source for PCB supplies ... but I didn't see anything else (may have missed it?). And so it goes -- I just don't understand why someone hasn't arranged the perfect source for my needs! :)
Sigh. Looks like Digikey is the only choice for one-stop shopping. Now I need to do the math and see whether their higher prices are outweighed by not having to pay multiple S&H. Either that or I need to give up on the R8C, even though my reading of their manuals since getting DJ's endorsement has made me really want to try one out ...
