I finally found the driver installer and unpack it (using WINE on
Ubuntu so as not to mess up my Windows laptop).<br>
<br>
What I found is that the Windows driver is just a repackaged version
of the FTDI drivers using the vendor and device IDs that RATOC has
assigned to the cable.<br>
<br>
So, you might be able to try using modprobe to load the the FTDI
driver (ftdi_sio) and the RATOC IDs. It's not guaranteed to work,
but it may be worth a try.<br>

two web pages that together suggest that the device is
actually<br>
using an FTDI chipset internally.<br>
<br>
The first is actually an entry in the CHIRP issue tracker:<br>
- <a moz-do-not-send="true"

target="_blank">http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/967</a><br>
<br>
They tore the device open and found an FTDI chip inside.
They also<br>
added the IDs to allow the driver to load, but it didn't
seem to be<br>
working. The suggestion is that the driver needs to have
these ids<br>
added to it.<br>
<br>
The other is a product brochure from RATOC that suggests
using an FTDI<br>
driver package with their converter (but this was on
Android, of all<br>
things). Still, it points to FTDI as the right chipset.<br>
<br>
I started to see if I could download the Yaesu driver for
Windows and<br>
take it apart to see what actual driver was inside, but for
some reason<br>
I cannot get to the Yaesu website.<br>
