Remember me from 2 years ago? :D I'm back to messing with DIY ALDL setup on my 7747, wanted to share updates. Hope it's not old news. Using Sparkfun FTDI Basic Breakout 5V with an emitter-follower transistor as a signal buffer. For whatever reason I could not get a data stream when it was running unless I had the buffer. So far so good, except some data errors after waking the laptop and starting the Jeep. I'll dig into that and do more testing this week as I fine tune the Jeep for emissions using my own Ostrich 2.0 and Burn2 (was using AutoProm in 2012).

When I'm convinced I have it working reliably I'll design a small board for myself with FTDI chip, USB connector, transistor(s), filtering caps, whatever else. I could make extras if anyone is interested. I don't have anything to test the 8192 stuff on, but could try to build it to accommodate that too.
