Having done that in vi and saved the file I then loaded the kext using kextload and lo and behold I had a new serial port available.
That tells the driver to claim a different device ID than it was expecting. I didn't realize you were using the USB versions of your cables, but that makes sense. Icom uses legitimate chips in their cables, but changes the vendor/product ID so that it doesn't "look" like any other prolific device. Your fix makes perfect sense, and I'm glad to hear it resolved things for you!
