Yes!  It was an was an hardware problem!
        As I'm not using the EEPROM in my design, I didn't put that 10k pull-up resistor
on the EEDATA pin. Now it is working 100%!
        I managed to discover the pull-up problem when I 'piggy-backed' an EEPROM on
my circuit. It started to work. W98 found the correct drivers.
        Next, I pulled the EEPROM out from its socket and the problem didn't show.
        If I don't use that pull-up resistor, W98 doesn't find the drivers!
        I sent a suggestion to the support@ftdi telling them to include a comment in the
next datasheet revision warning about that resistor!

        Now I'm happy again, and my client too!
