Chris or Jon,

I sent a message into support yesterday, so I apologize if you are seeing this for a second time --- I've also emailed FTDI per Ryan's@parallax suggestion.

Do you have any details on how to use the USB2SER with (custom) baud rates in excess of 1mbps?  I'm not worried with the SX details perse as much as the Windows side of things.  I've done serial programming on the Windows platform, and so I'm not a newbie in that regard.  Can I just use

handle = CreateFile("COMx", etc flags, params, etc);
and use SetCommState(handle, dcb); where dcb is the windows data structure that defines baud rate, parity, etc?

Using the VCP drivers that you redistribute, is it business as usual on the PC for accessing that port, except that I can pass high(and non-standard) baud rates?  I've read some stuff on FTDI's site regarding modifying .ini's to setup the "default" baud rates to map to higher datarates.

I'll be bit-banging data to the UART to achieve higher rates.  Should be easy enough on the SX side "creating" a start/stop bit, and the data bits....
