RS-232 is RS-232, TTL is TTL. Wiring a plug adapter is the easy part.

with an AOR control lead (CC8200) there is a small circuit board tucked inside the serial port plug housing

Same with all other RS-232 to TTL converters.

just wiring a plug adaptor although I wish it was. I expect the jav-232 cable (if it ever exists again) would contain even more
circuitry. Soldering sections togther is easy. Getting hold of the sections - that's the hard part.

The cables on Don's site make it easy - they do the level conversion.
All you have to do is the connector conversion. I haven't seen a
schematic of the jav-232, but I'd be veru surprised if it was anything
more than a bidirectional level converter.
