Arduino Mini 04

Sure - order an CP2102 module from e-bay. Comes from China, your neck of the world, quicker shipping?
Find one with holes along the sides where extra signals are broken out - specifically DTR.
Cut the trace that goes to the RST pin, wire the pin to the DTR hole.
Install the CP2102 driver if Windows did'nt do it for you when you first plugged it in.
Mac - I don't know driver situation.
