Correct... The driver does not follow the cable. Each port needs its own driver assignment.

One prolific chip programming cable "gotcha" I haven't heard anyone mention is using the right USB port. Once you get it working by manually installing the old version of the prolific driver you have to plug your programming cable into that exact same USB port on your computer every time. I ran into this one after trying to reprogram a radio after a few months of use. After an hour or so of head scratching I switched ports and boom it worked perfectly again.

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??
