I think you are referring to the part where he shows a circuit if you don't have 
the KIO2 installed. There he says:

The inductors can be any small 15 uH nominal part, such as DigiKey M7827. 
These are rated at 150 mA. The KAT100 only uses this for a very low 
current, so it should be suitable for all three inductors. The KPA100 may 
draw more current than this, so if you plan on using this cable for anything 
other than a KAT100, you may want to consider a higher current rating on 
inductor L1. I suggest at least 250 mA. You may wind such an inductor using 
the directions given above.

Any comment on this from others who have the same setting with the 
KPA100 in the EC2 enclosure? Do I really have to modify my KIO2?
