Well, this is a real bummer.
New cable from Kawamall arrived today, very fast USPS shipping.
Unfortunately, the result is the same, "Radio did not respond"
on write. Radio displays --Rx-- forever. Reads fine when I try that.
Tried multiple times, applying lateral pressure to the plug in the FT60
as suggested by Dan Smith yesterday. Tried our other FT60 several
times, similarly, no success.
Made sure the radio was in VFO mode, FWIW.
The Prolific driver is the one recently reported as working on Mountain
Lion 10.8.2 by Jay Moran with a Kawamall Prolific cable (on a VX-7R),
from xbsd.nl
So:

Two cables, both Prolific FWIW (and identical appearance down to

the indentations on the USB connector molding).

Two different FT60s, both of which have recently worked as

the receiver in a radio/radio clone operation.

The radios can be read into Chirp just fine.
They don't respond at all on write.

Since others can get this, or very similar, working, I feel like
I must be doing something wrong, but I don't see what.
I get the radio in clone mode displaying --Rx--, then hit the OK
button in Chirp's "Upload to Radio" dialog, with the port set
to /dev/cu.PL2303-00402214, which works for read.
What's next?

Thanks, I start to see the matrix ...
It will take a few days to be implemented but I probably found how to
recognize the right frequency range.
As of today chirp will not load correctly saved images of your uv6d but
if you clone in, modify it, clone back to radio everything should work
(everything but frequency ranges forced by UI).
I'll ask you to do tests some later ... stay tuned ...

Dan is, obviously, right: it's only a matter of range checking.
Chirp interface is forced, for uv6d, to accept frequencies in range
136MHz to 175MHz and 350MHz to 471MHz which appeared to be correct

for

that radio at the time I wrote the driver.
I suspect that forcing radio on frequencies a little outside his

range

don't give any bad effect but I didn't try this myself.

Guy, can you please send me an image downloaded from your uv6d and

the
...
ranges your radio accept so that I can try to find a way to

distinguish

this submodel?

It would be nice to have a full range of radio given from the

sellers to

be

even better ;)

Dan, have you ever tried to contact wouxun headquarter?
