	| Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers cause the USB device to appear as an 
		additional COM port available to the PC.  Application software can 
		access the USB device in the same way as it would access a standard COM 
		port.   This software is provided by Future Technology Devices 
		International Limited ``as is'' and any express or implied warranties, 
		including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability 
		and fitness for a particular purpose are disclaimed. In no event shall 
		future technology devices international limited be liable for any 
		direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential 
		damages (including, but not limited to, procurement of substitute goods 
		or services; loss of use, data, or profits; or business interruption) 
		however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, 
		strict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising in 
		any way out of the use of this software, even if advised of the 
		possibility of such damage. FTDI drivers may be used only in 
		conjunction with products based on 
        
		FTDI
		
		parts.
 FTDI
		
		drivers may be distributed in any form as long as license information is 
		not modified.
 If a custom vendor ID and/or product ID or description 
		string are used, it is the responsibility of the product manufacturer to 
		maintain any changes and subsequent WHCK re-certification as a result of 
		making these changes.
