Does FTDI USB to Serial Adaptor make PC serial port programming transparent?

I am thinking of getting a laptop without a serial port. I have read how good the FTDI adapter that Parallax recommends is. So I have no qualms about it working with the BS2 for programming.

My question is, can I expect my existing serial port application code running under Windows XP to still work with the FTDI virtual comm port (VCP) drivers without any problems or modifications????

I'm guessing (hoping) that it should be 100% transparent.

Thanks.

Harry

    That has been our experience, yes.
