There is much more to the store than Prolific like to reveal. Irrespective of this, Dig about the internets (particularly on various software sites) and you might find the earlier drivers and you can over-ride Windows installing the newer driver over the top. I made up a CD with a little installer that installed every variant of the drivers I could locate and you could ensure whatever cable you used you had the driver for the job. Sadly I never made a back up and I've loaned it away and it has never returned :(

I too only use a FTDI USB / serial cable with my HT. I use this cable with my Yaesu VX-6 on three separate computers. One workstation and two field laptops. My FTDI cable connects 100% of the time with fail proof HT uploads and downloads.
As I read all of the gross Prolific connection failure support requests, I am now wondering why Hams even waste their time in dealing with using Prolific USB / serial cables?
Because they work like a charm on Linux??
