Ok, some partial success.
I have modified another FTDI serial USB adaptor. This time I left the I/O pins at 5V. I could have simply reverted my mods to the original adaptor, but I want two devices for later anyway.
I plugged in my VX2r cable, still with diode, and the VX2 Commander loopback worked (of course).
Next, I plugged in the radio and set VX2 Commander to read from the radio. This time I got to 86% complete! But then VX2 Commander crashed, or became otherwise sad. It could be because I am running it under Wine on Linux.
I will try again without the diode, but I am happy that progress is still being made.
