Thanks for the information. I know enough about electronics to be dangerous!

02xda2: Looks like your solution will be the most flexible and straightforward. I will be able to use the FTDI chip drivers. I believe that I have found the proper chip for the 5 to 1.8 volt regulator:

“Back in the day” (I am getting a bit old), the USB to serial converter cables made by Prolific were very robust. Hope that they still make good stuff.

Thanks for your input.
