Ken,

Hopefully you are right. Having looked at it in more detail I would say you
probably are.
Does very much look like a FTDI module with EEPROM, oscillator and other
discrete
bits build in and the windows drivers are stock standard FTDI offerings.

Certainly this is a "module" something like this one
http://www.pic-tools.com/usb_mod_ums2.htm
It is not a Micro.

Hell of a blunder to label it as a "low-speed" USB device. (This is also on
the web site.)

Someone like myself may use these by the 1000's in a future programmer. When
I saw "low-speed" I stopped all consideration of it because of the
bandwidth limitation.
If it is FTDI based then I will consider it.

Now if they only would offer it at a realistic OEM price. :-(

Regards,

Jim
