Adam, SparkFun makes a dedicated USB/Serial device
based on the FTDI
chip used on the Arduino for about $14. You can get it in a 3.3v or
5v version.
Which is fine, but I've got plenty of Arduino boards (which are also in
the $15 range) sitting around anyway, so I may as well use them. ;-)
And yes, the FTDI chips are nifty -- they've even got an arbitrary-IO
mode...
