I have had disconnects with native USB and non-FTDI chipsets, so I don't think it is a particular feature of FTDI. It is more to do with the design of USB, and partly the implementation, i.e. good grounding and shielding.
The baud rate I think is irrelevant to USB, since the USB always runs at USB speed. The baud rate may affect the ability of the firmware to keep up with the data though.
> I know the FT232 has latency issues, which leads to the disconnects
I hadn't heard that, and I can't think why latency leads to disconnects. Do you have any more info on that?
IME, disconnects are caused by electrical noise on the USB data lines.
