I've loaded the prolific driver.
Anyone have fpc program that'll work on win xp.
John, any unit that will talk to a "standard" COM port should work - when
you plug in the cable, it should enumerate as a COM port - I do this with
an FTDI adapter board that I use with my custom Arduino projects.
Granted, my stuff is Delphi, but under Win32, there shouldn't be any
difference in how the ports are accessed from FPC.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
