#Prolific pl2303 drivers serial#

it's a Pluscom USB to Serial RS-323 DB-9 Adapter Cable.

the adapter is auto detected as prolific. I don't have time now to do it right, so I just added a bit of solder and re-connected the wires. The double sided pcb has slots for the gnd mesh of the usb cable and what I think to be stress relief holes for the wires but the wires were soldered straight to the holes. It uses a Max211CAI but the actual usb-serial is clear, no markings on it. when I pulled the insides out from the jack, the voltage wire broke. I initially thought it would just come out of the flexible transparent plastic case but it turns out when they heated the two sides of the shell the cable got locked in place. Well, this thread revival made me curious enough to open my own usb to serial adapter. If we like to be called as healthy thinking persons. And I think that is also our obligation to protect the work of the others. And it turned out that just the paper work its so costly, and that is very difficult for a single person to handle the costs.

We had many conversations in this forum, about how to protect our own work, when it comes to the point our ideas to turn in to products. In my eyes they do well about protecting them self's, because they have one healthy hardware and software solution, that it can be trusted by their corporate partners, and there is an warranty, that the End User will get something that really works and be happy with it.

The driver is very well made, and has even the option to change the COM port number, so the device to become compatible with any communication software settings, and it does that with out even rebooting windows. ( As part of their own products ) And even the software it self ( Driver) it is part of the Prolific property.

Who they invest their money on buying the technology made by Prolific, and resale it with their own products. Secondly, needs to protect their own customers, that are brand-names recognizable in the market. 2) Their work it must be patented, and so they have to protect it. Prolific needs to protect them self's from all those counterfeit parts. But now, you do not have the excuse to say that you was not warned about it My explanation to your questions will focus on the what called as correct and healthy corporate cooperation. If you ever interested to get an such no-name fake solution from eBay, be my guest. They describe it politely as chip validity and support. Windows 2000/XP/Server2003 (32 & 64-bit) WDM WHQL Driver: v2.0.16.166 Windows Vista/7/Server2008 (32 & 64-bit) WDF WHQL Driver: v3.3.17.203 Prolific has an warning about the fake chips in their website too. Probably they work fine, and this explains the reason of why they do not update it.

About the drivers age, the last made from Prolific was at 2007. And probably in many other old modems that use IR communications like laptops or mobile phones. Currently this chip is also found on the Agilent USB -> IR modems. If the Prolific chip in your adapter is a fake copy, the driver does not work with it. And the latest Prolific driver, it does one identity recognition at the hardware too. Even so the company gives their chips only to branded companies. Prolific (PL2303) adapter is an common solution about USB to Serial port adapters.
