Hopefully as my and Aaron's code mature together we will get to know that they are both reliable and be able to firmly point the finger at hardware issues. Of course it will purely be a speed thing as checksumming etc guarantees reliable comms if they make it through at all.
Post your stories of serial trouble and success with Linux and Windows on FreeEMS or MS or any other serial device that gives it a good work out.
My call right now : PL2303 >> FT232
Your thoughts?
