This page http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/EvaluationKits/USB-Serial.htm Says this: The US232R-100 evaluation cable is supplied in retail packaging which includes instructions together with a Drivers and Utilities CD complete with Microsoft WHQL certified VCP drivers for Windows XP. Drivers for the Apple Mac, Linux and other versions of Windows are also included on the CD....... Interesting device. Did you purchase a raw chip, dev/eval kit, or a complete module ready for use? How much does it cost, and where did you purchase it from? I'm looking for a way to add a serial16550/rs232) port(s) to a portable, so this might be an option....
