I know that this chip has been discussed here previously (yes - I did a search!), but I failed to find anything relevant to my query.
Many of you will know that this is the chip in the USB to Serial download lead, and I wish to include the chip in one of my projects.
Having read the datasheet, I understand that you are able to write to the EEPROM from the computer, and change the product description along with other values.
Now I do not have the USB picaxe cable, so somebody may be able to answer this for me, but does the PC recognise it with a picaxe description when it is plugged in, and if I were to use a different description, the the USB driver still work with the picaxe programming editor?
