It seems Extended Sys have released a new version of the ESI-09680, which
supports more baud rates :-) You can tell if you have the new one as it will
be labelled "ESI-09680-7401", where the old ones were -7201.

The downside is a new driver requirement :-( However, the old esi driver
(level mode) should still work, but to gain new baud rates you do DTR pulses
as per the parallax driver (pulse mode).
So *theoretically*, either/both drivers should work. In practice, any driver
DTR/RTS glitches that are not a problem to the original products, might
cause a state change in the hybrid product.

Hopefully I'll be able to test one with Linux-IrDA sometime soon. If anybody
else has one of these pods already (that is a -7401), let us know if the
parallax driver works.

Yes, they look identical, and yes, the cable still falls out the back...

Cheers
Joth
