#168086 - not sure whether FTDI translates to preferable at 921.6kBaud
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hi,

I'm not sure whether FTDI directly translates to preferable at 921.6 kBaud.

Sending more than a few kByte of data with hardware handshake at 921 kBaud to a PC running under Windows results in lost characters here.

I'm very confident that the sending side (to the PC) immediately responds to RTS CTS handshake (verified with oscilloscope: there is no new start bit if the PC (as seen on FTDI handshake) is not ready). When transferring 1 MByte of data to the PC there is a high likelyhood that at least one char is lost (problem has been seen at transfer sizes of 8kByte and up but is less reproducable then (at 4kByte and below I haven't observed it)).

Checked with several PCs (above 2 GHz), an OS (two Windows XP SP3 and one Win2k), three FTDI drivers (several versions including the latest), two applications (teraterm and a custom one), and relatively slow graphics (either some Intel IGP or a Matrox dual head - so handshake is being used).

Greetings,
Frieder

PS: could the title "#168084 - someone a FAQ please" be changed to somewhat more meaningfull (so YourFavouriteSearchMachineGetsIt) ?
