Kat, would this work? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/7841 8 I/O pins for parallel reading and writing. I think the data transfer rate is up to 1 MB/s. I believe it works the same way as the serial chip (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/718), it just splits the bits into 8 parallel I/O pins.

I have only tried the USB to serial chip, but I think most of the FTDI chips use the same dll library, so they should work with my code. I'll try to release my FTDI library soon.


Anything you can give me beats having nothing! It has 8 parallel and 5 handshake lines, real nice!

Is there a reason that on a buss this fast:

USB 2.0 was released in April 2000 (now called "Hi-Speed"), adding higher maximum signaling rate of 480 Mbit/s (effective throughput up to 35 MB/s or 280 Mbit/s), in addition to the "USB 1.x Full Speed" signaling rate of 12 Mbit/s.

the thruput is only one megabyte per second? Even though all my computers are ancient and run only USB1 (1.5 megabyte, so 1 megabyte is acceptable for a start), to get full USB2 i can install a new card, if the "breakout" and Euphoria can deal with it.
