D2XX isn't working for me, again probably user error. I can't connect to the camera with D2XX and the current build with D2XX enabled.

But I can get the "read" example from the D2XX package.
 ./read
Library version = 0x10306
Opening port 0
FT_Open succeeded.  Handle is 0x823b680
FT_GetDeviceInfo succeeded.  Device is type 6.
FT_EE_Read succeeded.

Signature1 = 0
Signature2 = -1
Version = 3
VendorId = 0x0403
ProductId = 0x6010
Manufacturer = FTDI
ManufacturerId = CA
Description = cam8
SerialNumber = CAM8
MaxPower = 100
PnP = 1
SelfPowered = 0
RemoteWakeup = 0
Returning 0

Will shift back to the ftdi build and try to answer your other questions but any suggestions regarding D2XX, would like to have it for a comparison.
