How soon can this get in? I ask because I have been crippled in all
attempts to use an ftdi adaptor to talk to an old legacy machine I have for
about that long now. xon/xoff seems completely broken, and 7wire seems to
scramble things to the point where no null modem cable I have made (and I
have a book on them) will allow the 7wire flow controls to function.
