    Thanks Dave. Yes the FTDI route is by far the easiest. In fact I even have some chips for that. But sometimes, giving up board space for a chip seems crazy, if nut just impractical.

    Now if CDC is the equalvalient to usb->serial, but done in the PC, well that gets closer, even close enough for me.

    Oh, and thanks for the toupee link, I may need it soon

    My analogy to FTDI:

    120Vac->12Vdc output battery charger->12Vdc battery->inverter (120Vac output)->PC powersupply->12Vdc output for MOBO.

    To build a UPS, would it not be easiest to go from battery to MOBO?
