 libftdi - A library (using libusb) to talk to FTDI's UART/FIFO chips
 including the popular bitbang mode.
 
 The following chips are supported:
+* FT230X
 - FT4232H / FT2232H
 - FT232R  / FT245R
 - FT2232L / FT2232D / FT2232C
 - FT232BM / FT245BM (and the BL/BQ variants)
 - FT8U232AM / FT8U245AM
 
+libftdi requires libusb 1.x.
+
 The AUTHORS file contains a list of all the people
 that made libftdi possible what it is today.
 
-Many thanks to Marek Vavruša for providing
-the initial C++ wrapper implementation.
