I finally tried this yesterday, and managed to render XP unable to 
boot. Eight hours later, after various attempts to repair things, I 
finally did a fresh install.

While I was waiting for the installation to finish I took a look at 
the D2XX driver for Mac OS X, and the examples that came with it. In 
about 15 minutes I managed to put together a program to read the 
FT232 EEPROM, make the necessary changes to the values (invert TX 
line and rename the device in my case) and write it back to the chip. 
So now I can do all this on the old iMac sitting down in the lab, and 
not have to touch in infernal windows box for this task. I just wish 
I would have tried doing this *before* messing with the registry.
