Prolific rewrote their drivers so they wouldn't work with pirated chipsets. Genuine Prolific hardware wasn't affected. While I can't blame them, it backfired because angry customers flocked to FTDI.

Not so. I bought a Prolific adapter from Radio Shack in the late 2000s and it stopped working in early 2020. I seriously doubt the Shack would sell a pirated chipset, but I guess maybe? But yeah, I went to FTDI.

Jimmy, today it's 23F with 10-15 mph wind. I'll wait for warmer weather, thank you very much! LOL!
