There is a UNIX verison of the D2XX library. However when I tried beginning
this year, I hit a hard wall with some problems with FT_GetBitMode.
address@hidden agreed on that problem and promised to fix "in the next
release". The version on the web however is still from October 2004.

The problem was a showstopper andf I switched to the open source libftdi
( based on libusb). As libusb is available on Windows, things should somehow
be portable.  

I have adapted Anton Erasmus javr and Andrew Rogers xc3progs  to use an
FT2232. The code is in bad shape, using C++ elements. If somebody is
interessted in improving. I am willing to share.
