It does seem to use the Prolific chip, judging by messages I saw as the
driver was installing.
One thing to note here is that Prolific are obviously a B2B (business to
business) supplier. When they say that they can't supply drivers to
consumers, they don't mean that the driver doesn't exist but just that
their business model is not set up to provide things directly to consumers.
(Some such vendors will make drivers available for download, which is
generally OK as long the OEM cannot cutomise the relevant parts of the
hardware. Also, interestingly a lot of Windows drivers aren't really
drivers, but rather parameter files that tell the real driver that a
particular USB ID requires, for example, a USB serial driver.)
