Hey Everybody: Just got an FTDI "Chip-X10" usb serial adapter/cable the other day. While messing around with it on various systems I was able to install it on my Asus chromebox (a desktop chromebook) by just plugging it in, since the Chrome OS has built in recognition of FTDI devices. I like my chromebox for everyday stuff since it is simple, problem free and cheap.
Anyhow, I was able to use a chrome app, from the Chrome store called Cereal-com <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cereal-com/ofgchohacklchmmbojmjlcgbdckliaoc> (too cute!) to up and download text and files via the FTDI RS-232 cable, like a graphical Hyperterm. Very Cool! This should work within the Chrome browser as well if anyone wants to give it a try. I may post instructions on its use, as said the com settings are similar to what you'd use for Hyperterm under WindowsXP Let me know if you do Dave Szasz NV3F
