Nigel, et al, personally it gets to be insulting to me (and others, probably) when you all come back with "Get a real FTDI" chip. I've been around ham radio since I was a teen (more as a SWL) but when I bought my first cable it was, of course, a counterfeit chip and I needed to install the older Prolific driver ... I didn't find out anything about the chips and the drivers till Windows did an update and wiped out the driver loaded by the company software. I'd guess that most of the people who are asking "Why doesn't this work?" already have spent money on a cable and are only now finding that things aren't as straightforward as it should be ... if they'd bought the right cable in the fist place. It's a lot more pleasant experience to help them solve their problems rather than infer they didn't do their homework before they even knew there was a problem.
