So looking for a supplier that will sell me a working cable
Couple of things....

If the driver came with the cable use the disc as a coaster, or decoration or whatever just don't try and use it in a PC to access the driver.

On the prolific website there is a mini program that will tell you if the chip in your cable is a pucker Prolific Chip or a cheap and nasty knock off take seconds to run and then you will know if it is cable or driver causing the problem.

My cable was purchased with the radio and despite taking an hour of mucking around to get the correct driver (version 3.2.0.0 works fines on my Win10 PC) There are some very good videos on you tube that show you how to configure the cable correctly.

If you are a brands regular, ping me a personal message and I can lend you my cable to see it that helps.
