to:Xiaofan Xiofan, your information is excellent. I feel I must use the USB CDC-ACM c= lass because of my requirement to support legacy apps that use the serial p= ort. Are you saying that Windows has buggy support for the CDC-ACM class and tha= t all slave USB devices using CDC-ACM have the same problems ? Or do some = USB slave devices deal with the Windows CDC-ACM bugs better than others? = How about FTDI.... do their products work well with the Windows CDC-ACM imp= lementation ? Does good inter-operability vary by slave device ?
