Thanks, it wasn¡¯t so much the bargain but the speed in which Amazon could get me the cable. Lack of patience, turns out, probably gonna cost me more time. Bruce in Mt. airy MD

Cable driver help needed! so I went out and bought myself a USB to RS 232 serial cable advertised as with FTDI chipset. When I received the cable, The specifications sheet does not list FTDIE but says the chipset is an FT 232 and ZT213. It also came with a driver disc, which my laptop does not have a CD at all so is Not usable.
That's exactly why I recommend spending ~$30 on buying an ESU or RRCirKits supplied genuine FTDI cable rather than buying a "bargain".
