I use the FT-65 manufactures cable and have NEVER had a problem.

Last time I checked, RT Systems cables use FTDI USB to Serial chips
but they are programmed with non-standard USB VID:PID to make them
"proprietary". If you look at http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids and
search for "RT Systems", you can see a short list of some known
VID:PID combinations that Linux will then load the FTDI kernel
module and treat the USB device as a serial port. For unknown
ports, I don't know if you can fake out Windows to recognize RT
System cables as a standard serial cable but you CAN do this with
Linux for ANY VID:VID using either some USB or UDEV tricks.
I wrote the following up some time ago to either temporarily or
permanently recognize the RT Cable and create a /dev/ft857_prog
serial device instead of a generically named /dev/ttyUSB0 device:
Permanent USB recognition across reboots (this example is for one of
RT Systems cables for a Yaesu FT857):

Gigaparts shows the RT Systems cable to be in stock.
Looking at picking up a ft-65 but the scu-35 cable
looks to be out of stock with no eta. Anyone using
any of the Amazon clones successfully? I will be
using Ubuntu so most of the driver issues are not a
problem.
