Re: How hard would it be for me to add support for FT240X?

Thanks for the tip!  It's working great.

Hi Bill,

Should already be supported.  As far as I'm aware the FT220XD, FT201X,
FT220X, FT221X, FT230X, FT231X, and FT240X are indistinguishable from
the host, except for the default product string stored in their
EEPROM.  For example they'll all show up as a serial port when using
the Linux ftdi_sio module.
