Glad it's you and not me :-) that does sound painful... > nice so u reckon to use the ftdi stuff rather than writing my own > module? I like things the easy way :P It sure looked like it was working under 2.4, at least on the 'scope. And while I don't mind learning how to be a usb guru, I'm not sure I've got enough time. You can also buy complete hardware modules that include the chip and usb socket which you can mount in a thru hole board. They run about $25 each, less in quantity. So in terms of really easy, it sure looked good to me. Unfortunatly, right now I've got more time than money, so I've got to build it all myself and save a few bucks. On my day job we've plugged them into Windows machines and they work fine - we tie them into a PIC for temperature controllers on medical equipment. Making it all work with legacy stuff is my problem. But I think it's pretty simple if you start with the 2.4 linux kernel and the ftdi_sio these guys have written (nice work Greg and Bill).
