The new driver is CVS has working reading capability.
Don't use any driver before version 0.7.0! It wont work ;-)

TOP SPEED

Rewritten some code. The driver seem to be a lot faster now.
Read code is not yet in package releaste. (Unstable)
I guess in version 0.7 the speed issues will be largely solved.
(Still waiting for device to test speed above 200KB/s with)

SPEED issues

I found that there is some speed issues. Infact the current driver is atleast a 1000 times to slow :-(
But I did do some testing. And infact did get transfer speeds of 200KB/s with some alterations to the driver.
I will make the improvements in the near future.
For now just be patient.

First speed test

I've done a speed test with a microchip attached to the device.
I have concluded that the maximum speed of the microchip is 210KB/s and that it is not fast enought to do proper speed test.
I am aware that I can improve the driver's speed.

Version 0.5.0

The driver now contains reading and writing support.
More complete I would say.
Probably still very unstable and missing features.
But is improving.

CVS modulename = "main"!

The development modulename = main
don't use "ftdifullspddrv"
So to download CVS anonymously:
"
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ftdifullspddrv login
"

And then:
"
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ftdifullspddrv co main
"

Project started

Just started the project.
source is available by CVS. (I think)
I'm very new to this sourceforge thing. So be patient.
I'm more intrested in getting the driver in good state than setting up this page.
more update will hopefully follow.
No packages will be released until project reaches beta stage.
