Well, that's it then. FTDI makes better drivers	by kahuana	2011-02-16 17:50:19
than Prolific (when it comes to USB-RS232 devices). In Windows 7 64-bit, Prolific's can't even keep up to a sustained 38400bps stream. I had a similar problem in Vista 32-bit w/ their driver - which partially resolved by updating the driver. (no such luck this time). The only "problem" I've seen with FTDI (in XP Pro, on other machines used by cow-orkers) was that the ICSP we use sometimes would not initialize (it is using an FTDI USB-RS232 but with modified vendor & device id's) depending on the order the serial and programmer plug in. otherwise this FTDI has been faithfully streaming at 38400 without dropping a character for the past 45 minutes. (Prolific begins barfing in 5) So... \o/ One more puzzle piece found. One step closer to moving over to mah Thinkpad W510.
