Title: AIS-2-USB receiver
#8
Comar always seems to respond to the drivers question like that. It would be helpful if they actually put proper links to a download site on their own site.

Visitors to FTDI's site will find that it's easy to get confused. FTDI in fact produces two categories of driver. One they call VCP and the other D2XX. The D2XX one is not user-friendly, and I see now that that is because it was designed to run as a dynamic library. The VCP one is I suspect more likely to work. It is designed to run as a virtual serial port which is what we want, I think. I've tried downloading it from here:

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

and it installed directly with no problem. I cannot tell whether it actually works because I don't have the AIS unit, but I suspect it will. I hope someone will be able to confirm it, because the AIS-2-USB does look attractive in the same way as the BU 353 GPS.
