Got my USB RS232 TTL device on Friday and did the programming tonight.  Posted an update here:
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=64691&page=3

Now have an Amiga GOTEK running nicely thankyou very much.  Time to buy another.

Happy to provide any tips for anyone thinking of doing it.  I'm not a great solderer and had 2 pairs of reading glasses on when I was soldering on the jumper pins. Some people have just used wires but I was worried I'd screw something up.
It was a challenge finding the time but fun and certainly not hard to do.

Picture of GOTEK and Soldered pins attached.

Cheers
