The Raspberry Pi Display Adapter is a simple Raspberry Pi adapter designed to provide a convenient interface to attach 4D Systems display modules to the Raspberry Pi platform, without having to use jumper wires on the Raspberry Pi headers.
Communication to the 4D Systems Display Modules is performed via the Raspberry Pi’s serial port (RX and TX), and is provided to the user in a simple 5-pin interface, where a 5 way cable can be attached between the adapter and the Display Module.
Power for the display is supplied from the Raspberry Pi’s 5V bus. No external power is required for the Display Module as all power is supplied from the Raspberry Pi, via the Adaptor.

So, basically it's a breakout of the Pi's serial interface and a passthru of everything else on that header? It's a breakthru!
Does anyone have any idea where to get the SMD female header used on this board? The male header would be useful, as well. (SparkFun, it would be awesome if you could carry them.)
What is the part number for the 5-pin header shown? (The one used to convert the female connector to male) I can't find it on the site.
