Greg, buying a serial debug cable really is necessary if you intend to do anything serious with the BBB. However . . .
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/351093728732?lpid=82 According to the PL2303HX datasheet it is 3v3 TTL, but double check for yourself. I've seen these cheap USB<->Serial converters go for as low as 2-3 USD. Cables, 6 bux US is about as low as I remember having seen them. >From what I understand they're also supposed to be fairly decent, but as with anything else YMMV. You said something about having other cables / modules just wrong header ? why not whip an adapter up ? Not that hard to make / use jumper wires . . . does matter if it looks pretty so long as it serves it's purpose.
