I have trawled the data sheets and can find no information regarding simple control/setup via the VCP port and a simple terminal programme.  Please point me in the right direction.  I am (and have) using FTDI serial devices on many projects, these work "out of the box" very well.  All I need is the byte sequence to setup the 245 for simple on/off control of the output byte.  Various "relay board demonstration" programmes work but I am stuck with a serial port only (it was hard enough to get the management to accept a VCP for the other ports).  Sending bytes to the 245 after running a demo relay program works, not if I simply send the data after a cold reset.

I want to use an FT245 with a terminal program only, assuming that the terminal can send all characters (0x00 to 0xff) can this be done?  If so what are the commands available.
I only need to set/reset the 8 data lines.

Thanks,
Maxwell
