[chirp_users] Windows 11

[Al Jones]

Nigel, et al, personally it gets to be insulting to me (and others, 
probably) when you all come back with "Get a real FTDI" chip.  I've been 
around ham radio since I was a teen (more as a SWL) but when I bought my 
first cable it was, of course, a counterfeit chip and I needed to 
install the older Prolific driver ... I didn't find out anything about 
the chips and the drivers till Windows did an update and wiped out the 
driver loaded by the company software.
I'd guess that most of the people who are asking "Why doesn't this 
work?" already have spent money on a cable and are only now finding that 
things aren't as straightforward as it should be ... if they'd bought 
the right cable in the fist place.  It's a lot more pleasant experience 
to help them solve their problems rather than infer they didn't do their 
homework before they even knew there was a problem.
