you can test this theory by first removing the pl2303 module: sudo modprobe -r pl2303 and then plugging your FT-70 back in. If my theory is correct, /dev/ttyACM0 will come back into existence, but pl2303 will not reload.
You're potentially right, and I can look at this when I get home.
In the meantime, I tested this on my windows box here at work using the latest daily build. In this case, there was a pop-up telling me the necessary steps to do this - and rather than removing the battery and leaning on DC, it had me 1) remove the battery while the radio was powered on and plugged into USB, 2) hold power and AMS, and 3) reconnect the battery. Doing it the original way in Windows had the same result as last night - but doing it *this* way got me on the path to success. So I've got two things to consider at this point. =)
More later, once I get home and have a chance to test this.
