I built a cloning cable from scratch today - but it didn't work. I had the red wire soldered to the TX pin and the white wire soldered to the RX pin as the Miklor instructions stated. On a hunch, I reversed the RX/TX wires and now it WORKS! The board had the RX and TX markings reversed. BTW my board has LED lights on it so while I am downloading/uploading I get a little light show!

If the cable doesn't work, check the pin out. The ground wire was on the wrong pin. In soldered and back to the right pin and working good now. Does have a true ftdi on it.

How much did your FTDI cable cost? (Any chance it's built with a counterfeit FTDI part?)
FTDI is playing the same sort of games as Prolific, detecting fake parts and declining to work with them. Do NOT downgrade to the driver FTDI circulated that re-writes the USB PID, bricking the part for most people. (There are utilities to re-re-write the PID, but they're beyond the ken of many people.) Does miklor.com have info and driver d/l for FTDI?
