Most of the issues with the Prolific cable/converters is with a flood of fakes and Prolific's policy of changing the drivers to reject them. They can be made to work using an older driver and disabling Windows Update for that driver.

I have both, but I do prefer the FTDI.

I've just ordered a multi-port serial converter, so we'll see how that works out.

I've found that all RS-232 to USB cables / converters are not created equal. Some work. Some do not. However those containing the FTDI chipset do work.

I purchased mine from R T Systems. 100% succes on every application and computer I've tried.
