[Coco] Drivewire and raspberry pi 2

[Bill Pierce]

Steven, I agree, I have a prolific adapter and it gives me nothing but trouble. I have to unplug and re-plug it back in often to get it back online. I want to get one of the FTDI based units.

I'm using a little adapter with an FTDI chipset.  It's a
no-name special 
picked up at a Hamfest for $15.  When I hosted DW4 on my Linux
workstation 
the adapter easily supported 430kbs communication from a Coco FPGA.
No 
dropped data ever.  I haven't tried this with the Dockstar.

As many have
mentioned on this list, it's probably best to avoid adapters 
based on the
Prolific chipset.
