In their application note AN-107, FTDI describes a simple way of making the system ignore the serial number. This same method works for the SiLabs devices too.
My biggest annoyance with FTDI is that that they do not have the ability to reprogram the baudrate dividers, like the SiLbs parts have. The only way to 'alias' the baudrate on the FTDI parts is to hack the FTDIPORT.INF file, but that obviously could bring you into trouble with other devices that use an FTDI chip. I solved this by applying for my own set of PIDs. My biggest annoyance with the SiLabs parts was their MLP package, which is a #&%#@ to solder reliably. That's the reason I switched to FTDI. Rob. |
