Wondering if anyone has used any of these parts: http://www.ftdichip.com/FTProducts.htm If yes, how did it go? Any significant problems with operation, availability, support, ...? We're looking to use the FT2232C in the MCU Host Bus Emulation mode to communicate with an FPGA in a different chassis. Thanks, Rob

Although I haven't used these parts myself I've heard quite a few times that it is a better part (hopefully someone else can shed some light on why it may be a better part). Take a look at sparkfun, they seem to like it as well :-) (www.sparkfun.com) Jim www.picmodules.com
