Hello Manuel :-) This policy looks like "must install Adobe Flash
Player to view this image or table", but on some systems there is no
flash player (nor libftd2xx) and so this is why we should stick to the
open-source and promote open-source where possible. People don't even
know that open-source alternative exist, or that some proprietary
solutions only work on selected platforms, this is why we should
change such ignorant policies where possible :-)

Best regards :-)
