Indeed, they are wonderful. <digression> I used a pair of them on an |
| 14 |
embedded project with micro-controllers talking via 500Kb serial |
| 15 |
links. The problem I encountered with Windoze is that (1) 500Kb is a |
| 16 |
non-standard baud rate and required a customized config file and (2) |
| 17 |
Windoze used the right config file for 1 converter and the wrong config |
| 18 |
file for the other. Apparently Windoze identified the individual |
| 19 |
converters and used the config file it thought proper for each one -- |
| 20 |
rather than a single config file for both. </digression> |
