FTDI is a chip house - many of OEMs use the FTDI chip set. The chipset
is generally given in the specification (read the fine print <G>). One
vendor I know of that specifies the chip set is Byterunner - they have
USB to serial converters using either FTDI or Prolific chip sets and
devices with 1, 2, 4 or 8 ports. See:
http://www.byterunner.com/byterunner/new_frontpage=usbserialadapters
Byterunner may not be the low price source but they are a known entity.
