There are a ton of dive computers that do not use an FTDI cable.
I believe that the Heinrichs Weikamp devices are all FTDI, that
most Suunto download cables are FTDI (but not the EON Steel).
Oceanic / Aeris / Hollis, Tusa, Sherwood, and Aqualung should 
all be FTDI.

Atomics Aquatics, Cressi, Mares, and Reefnet all are not FTDI.

I look forward to patches for that. I'd also love to be able to use
all of this on my Pixel XL, but thanks to SELinux that may not be
happening.
