However, as you noticed, everything seems to work with the libftd2xx.
The only reason I am working on this is that I noticed that the DEV_RST is set
high, when I do nothing to the B port. So all I am trying to accomplish is
setting this one line to 0. Any functionality that  can  do this would work for
me, I just thought BITBANG would be the easiest.
