I am playing with a FT2232H on a Windows 10 Pro PC.  I am using the latest version of TeraTerm to connect to the device.   I have a C8051F340 connected to the device and am sending data to the device in the CPU-style FIFO mode.

I set the A0 & CS# lines low, then write 8 bit data to the device, strobing WR# after each byte.  Once the string is fully sent, I return A0 & CS# hi.  I'm currently not using any other pins.

I see data appear in TeraTerm fine when I send shorter strings, after a certain length the data transfer has troubles.
 
Eventually I wish to use this as a sort of high speed data logger to assist me in troubleshooting code that simply cant run with printfs to a com port.   I'd likely be sending a few hundred to several thoughsand bytes, 1 to 3 bytes at a time, with a few micro-seconds in between. 
 
I've been reading about USB, packet sizes & latency and am sure that's where my problem is.  So, trying to understand all of this.

A few questions ...

1) Given my use case, am I using the most appropriate mode ?

2) In changing the port settings for the VCP in Windows 10 Device manager - Port settings - Advanced settings, do I really need to reboot for settiing to take effect ?
   
3) Is it true that the baud rate setting here is ignored ?

4) What exactly do the "Minimum Read/Write Timeout (msec)" settings control ?
