Xport Breakout Diagram

Got my Xport in tonight, and sat down to document it's connection.
(Glad I did too!)
Here's a .PDF that breaks down the connection using the $2.00 Ethernet
breakout board from Sparkfun. www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=716
In the style of my other documentation, it should be easy enough for even a blind person to follow. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

The comments and code above are proof that a million monkeys with a million propeller chips *could* write Shakespeare!

Lantronix unit itself does get a little warm, but also the two power regulators (on my
proto board) are also warming up. The power regulators should be able to take a
little heat, but for longterm use, it looks like some small sinks may be the way to go.

Xport Interface Board.... Didn't think anyone had created that yet... Do you have one of these, and did they
address the heat issue by adding some copper on the flip side?

I need to prototype the XPort to 0.1" spacing wire-wrap. I thought it would be simple to flip the XPort upside down, hot-glue it to a small piece of protoboard, wire-wrap some pre-stripped wire to the four relevant XPort pins (pre-strip is important), then wire-wrap these pins to some 0.1" single-in-line headers (allows either wire-wrap or plug into a plug-board). But the heat issue came up. Perhaps I'll cut some stock copper into a couple of squares and solder them to the upside-down XPort shield tabs to bleed the heat off.
powered by a regulated 3.3V. Is this right? Does this have any chance of working?
