I still think it might be possible to recreate it, but maybe I don't yet understand the uniqueness of it. The talon SRX user guide makes the comment that the board is useful in the aspect that is uses "a resistor divider and voltage buffer" to make the 5V to 3.3V transition. What are these, and where are they located on the board? Is is something to do with the A63A?
we made a custom 5 to 3.3V converter on a breadboard at first...
pretty simple, but would highly recommend the breakouts with the designed cable
