It seems that Microsoft and/or Prolific have found a way to stick
it to the unsuspecting owners of fake chip cables.
I have two of them with Kenwood-style plugs for programming cheap
Chinese radios and the Miklor fix no longer works on my Windows
8.1 PC, whereas it used to work.
The solution was to buy an FTDI based cable.

I seem to recall using the alternate write method when I was
programing my FT-60 with free FT-60 Commander software.? It's been
quite a while so my recollection could be faulty.

I Have 2- FT=60's that
I would like to program the same.
Using a good Prolific cable that registers as "a new
audio codec" in Devices and printers and in Device
Manager as "USB serial port com 6", when plugged
in.
Using win 7 good stable PC with all the USB drivers
updated and the Chirp legacy software. Open chirp and
click radio>download from radio, then port>6,
vendor>Yaesu, Model>FT60>.
Then "OK" and following the radio instructions
correctly>OK.
After a message that the pair is "cloning", it
all ends with the message "An error has occurred.
Failed to communicate with radio. Radio is not
responding".
I'm aware some people have had a problem with the plug
into the radio that doesn't insert easily. This one is
fully inserted.
Can anyone offer help in how to resolve the problem?
Your attention and assistance would be appreciated.
