Hom many FTDI devices?

2007-12-20 Thread Diego Zuccato
Hello all. Is there some hardcoded limit to the number of FTDI devices that can be connected to a single system (except the maximum of 127 devices dictated by USB spec)? I'd need to attach quite a lot of devices (up to 60) to a single host port, but if there's some low limit (like 16 or 32) on /d

Which hub chip?

2008-01-04 Thread Diego Zuccato
Hello all. I'd need to handle many USB devices (the more the best). So, to reduce hubs number I'm going to use 7-port ones. I've found those, so far: - USB2507 (SMSC) - ISB1521 (Philips) - μPD720113 (NEC) The host is a Linux box. Does some1 know of possible problems with any of these? Or have use
