Re: gEDA-user: OT: RS232-TTL level translator in a box

[ED <daine_ep@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure if its what you were looking for, however we have been playing 
with these FTDI chips for a little while now and they have been working 
great.  Basically you plug this little beast in and get a virtual serial 
port.  Works as a USB to serial converter.  Drivers for Linux, Mac, and 
XP, Vista may be a little trouble.

Have not worked with the breakout board directly, we have made our own 
version of the board.  Chips are around 5.00 from Digikey, this breakout 
board is around 15.00.

Enjoy

And as a PS you can get, regulated 3.3V, led lights for TX and RX and an 
Oscillator clkout right off the little chip, makes it very useful for 
microcontroller projects.
