I got the FT2232H chip in yesterday and tested it in BitBang mode overnight.
I'm happy to report that it has been 100% reliable thus far and appears to be
consistently clocking data in and out. If you plan to use bit bang mode and
require consistent and accurate clocking, I'd recommend this chip and not
the FT232R and FT2232C/D chips.
One weird thing, I'm getting 80x the baud rate I'm setting using libftdi 0.17
when the chip is in BitBang mode. Are there known issues setting the baud
rate with this chip? Looking at the change log, the 0.17 version supports
the FT2232H chip baud rate format and was just added in the latest version.
