Okay, I added some ceramics on the power pins (of the FT232RL board, not the chip itself), and put a bead onto the VCCIO line, and looped the motor wires a few times around another bead.

It merely fails more often with that setup. smile

Oh well. I suspect the breadboard configuration I'm using may be part of the current problem, it exposes a lot of signals over longer "wires" than necessary.

I'll just have to wait and see what happens when the current design is transfered back to a PCB, with much shorter leads on everything.
