>The great open source minipro app has to fight the manufacturer and reverse engineer, and then the maker discontinues the 866, and it's replacement is no longer compatible. Ouch. I use the open source minipro with the (non-clone, actual) TL866 I have had for a long time. It should be possible to design something actually better and open source. I think this story's effort is a decent start. Not quite there, but it can be built on. Meanwhile, best to get clones and use minipro.
