That's exactly what happened. It's working for me perfectly on Windows 7 using the RT cable for my Yaesu VX-8R.<div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 4:13 PM, Robert Terzi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rct@r-t.org" target="_blank">rct@r-t.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

of windows, what you did was to replace the driver that was associated with<br>
the RT VID/PID with the current FTDI driver, which let you then tell it to<br>
provide a Virtual COM Port (VCP) in addition to the FTDI Direct I/O interface.<br>
<br>
(In other words you associated the FTDI drivers with the RT VID/PID without<br>
having to edit the .inf file.)<br>
