ALERT!
ALL............ FTDI admitted that some devices USB to Serial,
UART, etc chips bearing the FTDI logo were counterfeits....... and a
recent Windows driver update REPROGRAMS the USERS device..... TURNING
IT INTO A BRICK!!!!!!!! We aren't talking about the PROLIFIC driver
that just warned the user of a conterfeit chip and DID NOT DESTROY
it, BUT FTDI deliberately BRICKING the device by reprogramming
it. Beware of updates bearing gifts.......
