13px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">The key difference is that the fake pl2303 don't appear to actually send or receive any data. (Intentional on Prolific's part, this I'm sure of, judging from the way they crippled later XP drivers.)</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Those having trouble and in the above scenario may wish to try out the osx-pl2303 (open source driver version) that I have recently built and packaged:</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13px;
