FT-2900 programming

I had no success getting CHIRP to read the radio...looks like its not communicating with the rig.
I am using Prolific 2303 with dedicated driver Windows XP and cable pin-out are correct. My unit is a FT-2900 but the CHIRP dropdown shows FT-2900R - FT-1900R could this be the issue?

Greetings,

I have a Yaesu FT-2900 and was wondering if CHIRP is likely to include it
in the already great list of radios?.....or if the is a variant already
listed that will work with the 2900.

It is already supported. The FT-1900 and FT-2900 share a driver.
