#110108 - IF you make the '320 the same ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
here's the deal:

The CP210x devices enumerate specifically as USB-to-RS232 converters, and the VCP drivers make the thing look like a standard COM: port to Windows.

The '320 is an 8052 with a USB engine. It can be configured to be any arbitrary USB class device. So, you'd have to write the '320's descriptors (and the rest of its firmware) so that it enumerates as the same type of device (including VID and PID) as the 210x. If windows recognizes the device class and the VID and PID as matching whatever the 210x exposes, then it should load the VCP drivers.

Of course, I haven't tried any of this, but it's reasonable.
