Yess :-)
OK, make said device appaear as an FTDI converter IC
(since drivers for
that are pretty much standard) but with the required baud rates. Heck,
make it ignore whatever commands are used to set the baud rate but to
ahve eitehr an physical switch to select the baud trate or a pin to feed
in a 16* clock .
That was the idea when I read the last posting: I could make a little board with
an original FTDI chip and a little AVR that does the serial part of the game.
Additionally I'd fit a jumper/switch to select the baud rate.
Serial IO via TTL on solder pads and an optionally installable MAX232.
Who would be willing to pay around EUR 25 for such a little board? Let me know!
If there are enough requests, I will make them.
Supported settings would be at least
5 bit, 1.5 stop bits: 45.45, 45.45, 50, 75, 100
5 bit, 2 stop bits: 45.45, 45.45, 50, 75, 100
8 bit, 2 stop bits: 110
On the PC side the software could set whatever baud rate it likes - would be
ignored.
Kind regards
Philipp
