Thanks for pointing this out, I mistakingly assumed the pads were
wrapped around. Luckily the side pads are connected to the bottom pads
and I have enough room to solder those side pads (pfeewh).
On another note, I am using the Exar XR21V1410 as an alternative to the
FT232RQ, same function, smaller package, less pins and cheaper. They
work fine so far.
