Excuse the slightly off topic question but ... Has anyone used any of these chips? I'm working on a 18F2321 project that uses this chip. The project works fine but my problem is on the PC that we were going to use to test the finished board. The FTDI part sets up a virtural comm port when connected to the PC's USB port. The problem is that each time a new board is connected it creates a COMXX where XX is the the last comm port number plus one. I'm up to COM82 after testing a few boards (It started with COM3). The test program on the PC is a VB6 routine and VB6 only allows up to COM16. I have seen this same thing on commerical USB-Serial products. I know I can go into the device manager and change the comm numbers but that sure makes testing the board a lot harder. Anyone encountered this? Is there a way to make the Windows/FTDI start at COM3 each time? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark
