As much as I like buying stuff locally, it'd still help our cause if we'd have links to shops that ship the pomona clip and jumper cables worldwide (or multiple if regional only).

Would you add such links? If yes, how and where?

If at all, I'd even add a serial cable for the RPi. (And yes, for people who don't own a RPi we should include the ch341a, but we'd have to document it's usage first.)

Local is a relative term.

A "what to buy" guide would be useful with different options and why purchase one over another. The ch341a is much cheaper but the rPi is more versatile and can be used for other projects. The same can be said with a SOIC clip verse E-Z-Hook XKM-S which is what I use. However if suggesting the hooks, it needs to explicit that you cannot buy cheap hooks off of eBay because they will not grip the pins or if they do,can short because of their size.

thanks! I started by pointing to manufacturers, as examples for the hardware always required.

a "where to buy" section with vendors, and specifics to the flashers we support, is to be done.

These are the ones I used.

Seller I got them from does not have them any more:

Also, I used ch341a
