How much did your FTDI cable cost?  (Any chance it's built with a 
counterfeit FTDI part?)

FTDI is playing the same sort of games as Prolific, detecting fake parts 
and declining to work with them.  Do NOT downgrade to the driver FTDI 
circulated that re-writes the USB PID, bricking the part for most 
people.  (There are utilities to re-re-write the PID, but they're beyond 
the ken of many people.)  Does miklor.com have info and driver d/l for 
FTDI?
