Hello, this is my first message to the list and I am very happy to have found my way here - I want to get some opinions on an idea I have, to find out if it sounds like I am on the right track or just barking up the wrong tree! I want to use the FT2232H to drive a 2.4" LCD display over USB. Using Channel A in asynchronous bit-bang mode connected to the WR and RD pins on the LCD, sending 16-bit colour values for each pixel (2 transfers per pixel in 8-bit mode). While simultaneously using Channel B in MPSSE mode and utilising two of the available GPIOs to drive the 'Chip Select' and 'Register Select' pins on the LCD. Here is the datasheet for the LCD driver chip:

Does this sound feasible? Can I expect the two channels on the FT2232H to be tightly integrated enough to have them cooperate in this way? and still have a usable I2C port available on Channel B while driving the MPSSE GPIOs at the same time?

And lastly, what sort of frame rate should I be expecting per second, at 153,600 bytes per frame? (240 * 320 pixels * 16-bits per pixel / 8)

Thank you very much for any advice and insight you can offer!
