Hi Ken,

I have already emailed Linx and this is the reply I received in full.

Hello Jim,


The module supports seamless operation from data rates as low as 300bps
to a full 3Mbps. In RF application many customers are actually more
focused low rate capabilities thus the call out as a feature. You may
wish to download the support materials at www.instantusb.com for a
further understanding of the part.

So, to my mind the reply may infer that it is a full speed USB device
however it is hardly explicit. It certainly does not confirm that the
module is based on the FTDI chip but it just has to be. Why Linx
need to hide this I don't know.

As for the RTFM bit, this is a little insulting as it was clear that I was
questioning doubtful information in The "F Manual" to begin with!

Well, my team could make it so I went for the social aspect (Beer :-).
Had a real good time until a friend made a fatal mistake...

Regards,

Jim
