                <P>
                When using <a href="http://www.xilinx.com">XILINX</a> JTAG software like Impact, Chipscope and XMD
-               on Linux, the proprietary kernel <i>windrvr</i> module from <a href="http://www.jungo.com">Jungo</a>
+               on Linux, the proprietary kernel module <i>windrvr</i> from <a href="http://www.jungo.com">Jungo</a>
                is needed to access the parallel- or usb-cable.
                As this module does not work with current linux kernel versions (&gt; 2.6.18) a library was developed,
                which emulates the module in userspace and allows the tools to access the JTAG cable without the need
                </P>
                <P>
                The library uses <a href="http://libusb.sourceforge.net/">libusb</a> to access USB devices and the
-               <a href="http://www.linuxfocus.org/common/src/article205/ppdev.html">ppdev</a> interface to communicate
+               <a href="http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport/html/x623.html">ppdev</a> interface to communicate
                with parallel cables. The parallel part currently only supports Parallel Cable III mode (and PCIV in
                PCIII compatibility mode) as the faster PCIV modes use another kernel module which is not emulated by
                this library. So you are limited to a 200kHz JTAG clock when using Parallel Cable IV with this software.
                The USB cable is supported at full speed.
                </P>
                <P>
+               Experimental support for FTDI 2232 based devices has been added. They are seen by Impact as a Parallel
+               Cable III. These devices are currently significantly slower than every other supported cable.
+               </P>
+               <P>
                The library is called <i>libusb-driver</i> as it was developed to support the USB cable, but later
                extended to also support parallel cables.
