OK thanks. Didn't know that. I do find that it works extremely well
with any Windows based system I've use since XP............

An RT Systems cable did not work with my Mac. It only works with their
software. I returned it and got a different FTDI cable.
RT Systems seem to provide Mac drivers now, but I’d still stay away. RT Systems
has programmed their FTDI chip to give a different ID, so other drivers won’t
work with it. Mac OS already includes drivers for FTDI chips.

The cables from R T Systems are certainly reliable and affordable as well.
Plus if you have a question, you can call them and they will talk you through
the issue.

This.
I have spent enough time fightingg "prolific" cables that proved to have
fake chips that it is far cheaper to just buy the keyspan unit, install the
ftdi driver, and have it Just Work (modulo variability in Port naming).
Chuck the prolifics, get a genuine ftdi (the keyspan unit is a great
choice). Save the grief.
