Yes. On attaching this converter, the PL-2303 gets recognised and the
appropriate module gets loaded. Not that it makes it work properly
though :-(

The results so far are that the only one that works under OS X is the
Keyspan. Under Windows it is the Prolific and under GNU/Linux... none
so far :-( [*]

[*] Yes - with the exception that I still didn't get the Keyspan
initialised properly so I can't be conclusive but ATM the results are
as follows:
OS X GNU/Linux w2k
Keyspan O ? X
Prolific X X O
Cypress ? X ?
where "?" means either lack of driver or driver initialisation
problems, "O" means OK and "X" means doesn't work properly.

I can see other platforms, but I *choose* to ignore them on the
