Not yet. I have ordered a few sample devices, but haven't recieved them
yet.

Unfortunately, the only information from FTDI seems to be how to use
their closed source windows drivers. :(

I will definately need it for my device, so if it is not yet available,
I will have to figure out how to do it. When I do, I will of course
