I'm setting up a new blog for my amiga stuff. This site is pretty badly organised so I'm going to trash it one day.

So I have a FTDI usb to serial by ETT.
It doesn't work on Mac OS X because the Info.plist file doesn't contain the product id in it.
First install the driver from FTDI
Then add to /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist a copy of another entry with the product id.
The product id is in the system profiler under USB
Note that product id in system profiler is in hex, but the Info.plist must be in decimal.
Also note that the name matters. It must match whats in the profiler
Reboot and... all good

Coming from C to C++ there are higher level types to do what is needed. Use them instead.
They are:
Arrays -> Vectors
char arrays -> String
bitset...
Notes:
cin only reads up to the next whitespace.
getline reads a line
Store string::size in the string::size_type object....

Game Playthrough and Notes (Started this on my 8th attempt at dead is dead):
Rule 1: Don't do it. Whatever it is, it will kill you. Simple taxi mission? DON'T DO IT.
Notes:
Mosquito Missiles are only good for taking down other missiles and fighter drones.
Dragonfly missiles are apparently good.
Get Explorer software, a discover or something to deploy satellites in all sectors.
A TM (only 500k) can carry extra ships. Put in a jump drive and you can load up with mission runners.
Get a Software Signature Scrambler from Dukes Haven in the Unknown Sector south of Heaven's Assertion (Paranid space, very mottom middle of the map) - this hides the override software from the cops.
