China has put out cables with fake Prolific chips in them. Prolific has made it so their latest and greatest drivers will not work with those cables. That’s why you need to roll back the driver to 3.2.0.0. This will work.?
I will have to do some research to see where exactly the Alternate Write method button is located. Been a while since I’ve used the program.?

Jardy,
Thank you for your attention and suggestions.
Don't think I have seen an "alternate write method", or at least
don't know how to...

I believe that is the correct cable. I have another which DM
identifies only as FTDI.
Do they use different drivers? They call for different available
com ports.
Consistent with my age tendencies (old), I am using Win7.
The Miklor.com site seems like a good
resource. I will try the older driver.

Have been unable to
finish connection via FT-60 Commander programming
software.
I get to a window which says hold down PTT, in doing
that I see "listening" on screen, but nothing else loads
or occurs after that.
Any suggestions?
