I would guess the data cables from Yaesu will not be compatible with an ICOM radio. However, if all you want is to set memories using cloning mode, generally the standard cloning cable works across most of the radios.
For example, years ago I had a Yaesu VX-5R HT and got a cloning cable from RT systems. Turns out this one works with my 92AD and my 800H. You plug it into the speaker jack. Using programs from RT Systems, it can copy out all memories, or clone in all memories. So it's slow but simple. By the way, now that most PCs have USB but no serial port, it turns out the RT Systems programs are more touchy and they want you to buy new cloning cables -- from them of course.
