have you tried using the driver from Aten [1]? They use a prolific
internally but according to my experience (well it years ago I really
used windows...) this drivers works perfectly under windows whereas
the
original prolific driver doesn't. Maybe that changed or the Aten
driver
only works for Aten products but it may be worth a try.

Thanks but I think that the driver is strictly related to cable
chipset.
Prolific has even an utility to see which chipset has your cable.
Unfortunately your driver must be working to check the chipset :)
If the Aten cable uses a Prolific chipset internally, and uses the
standard Prolific USB VID/PID numbers (instead of custom ones), then
their driver will probably work for other cables too. Companies like
Aten, which sell usb-serial cables with Prolific chipsets inside, are
usually just re-packaging (with or without modifications) the stock
Prolific drivers. Prolific doesn't even sell usb-serial cables, only the
chips.
