/* ftdi_out.c
*
* Output a (stream of) byte(s) in bitbang mode to the
* ftdi245 chip that is (hopefully) attached.
*
* We have a little board that has a FT245BM chip and
* the 8 outputs are connected to several different
* things that we can turn on and off with this program.
*
* If you have an idea about hardware that can easily
* interface onto an FTDI chip, I'd like to collect
* ideas. If I find it worthwhile to make, I'll consider
* making it, I'll even send you a prototype (against
* cost-of-material) if you want.
*
* At "harddisk-recovery.nl" they have a little board that
* controls the power to two harddrives and two fans.
*

*
* This program was based on libftdi_example_bitbang2232.c
* which doesn't carry an author or attribution header.
*
*
* This program is distributed under the GPL, version 2.
* Millions copies of the GPL float around the internet.
