/* 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.
