Quiet frankly, better to go to the chipset makers own website and get the correct and likely mallware free ones.
I don't think you will find the older v3.2.0.0 driver available for download on the Prolific site.
Not to say Miklor website is bad, but it's just another third party website with a collection of files, that "could" not be safe.
They might also not be the latest copies of the official drivers.
These are definitely _not_ the latest copies of the official drivers. But in this case they are not supposed to be...
However, they wrongly state that FTDI devices don't have that problem. [...]
- FTDI a while ago did create a storm however, by putting code in the
"official" drivers, that could detect the fakes and in turn reprogram the VID/PID info to all zero's rendering them unusable.
John actually mentions this issue with one of the FTDI drivers, here:
http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_ClonedChips.php
The SiLabs USB/Serial bridge products are also very good, and as yet(?) Not counterfeited, unless someone knows different.
Thanks for mentioning SiLabs, I have a Rasberry Pi programming cable using one of their chipsets and it works fine other purposes (I use it for a TTY connection to my Synology NAS).

I have two different Baofeng programming cables.? In WindowsDevice

"USB-Serial CH340."? Both work equally well under Windows XP, Windows 7, and Linux Mint with multiple different Baofeng HTs.? However,only the
"USB-Serial CH340" works with Windows 10.? What's the difference?? Anyone else having this issue?? Any thoughts how to make"Prolific USB

hate Windows 10.? Tnx, Richard AG5M _______________________________________________Miklor website. Get drivers. Install drivers.
