Issue with multiple FTDI devices. #2

Reported by JCM in the forum.

Just a quick bug report (is there a bug system?) that the FTDI code doesn't currently handle multiple devices well. If I have my TinCanTools Flyswatter (2) attached also, and the Papilio is not the first FTDI device...boom :) If I get chance, I'll look into a patch, but it's probably a straightforward fix for you, Jack. I'm using the github sources.

The best solution is probably to use a custom VID/PID for the Papilio to avoid problems like this, but then again, that doesn't do anything for having multiple Papilio boards connected at once...

We'll have to dig deeper for a solution.

Jack.
