So the Mesa looks like a breakout card of sorts.  With the D525MW, I  
won't need this extra card, and that would be nicer.

The 26-pin cable you'd need this (which I ordered last night for my  
Biostar Shuttle PC)...

I'm sure you can easily make a connector for the reverse method  
(DB25-F to 0.1" IDC connector), plugged into the port at the back of  
the computer.  Willing to bet MESA would have a cable assembly like  
this already.

My question too.  Still googling, and have not found anything negative  
about it.
