Why not use Microchip's "CDC" driver and appnote code? Make the PIC look like a COM port to the PC, then just tweak the LabView driver to look for the Microchip driver instead of the FTDI one. -- Phil. | Kitsune: Acorn RiscPC SA202 64M+6G ViewFinder philpem@dsl.pipex.com | Cheetah: Athlon64 3200+ A8VDeluxeV2 512M+100G http://www.philpem.me.uk/ | Tiger: Toshiba SatPro4600 Celeron700 256M+40G ...
