For years, I had ran my Prolific USB to Serial cable from my Windows 32bit laptop without any issues. Unfortunately, life when running Windows is never easy. After upgrading Windows 7 to 64bit I tried to install the drivers from CNET downloads. This was a HUGE mistake. Even though the CNET downloader told me it was downloading at 28K in the background it was installing 8 (yes 8 plugins and other useless crap) onto all my browsers. Finally after cleaning up my machine and finding the drivers from a source not intent in filling my machine full of rubbish I discovered that the drivers fail to work correctly for Windows 7 64bit based platforms. Back to square 1.

Linux Usb Serial Adapter Minicom
After wasting 2 hours trying to get this working in Windows I powered up Linux Mint. Loaded the necessary kernel module and tested.
Mar 23, 2010. Over the weekend, I was showing Linux and Packet radio and for some reason I could not talk to my TNC, a KPC 3+. It was at this point that I realized I had forgotten more about Linux (and minicom) than I had about the commands needed to control the TNC. Oct 13, 2013. I will be using Ubuntu flavored Operating System for demonstration purposes. Then you need to connect the USB Serial adapter and find out which serial port is it connected to. You will see something similar to this output. Make sure you chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0 so minicom will allow you to save the config.
All in all 20 minutes taken. So high five to Linux and I certainly wont be using CNET downloads again! So what are the steps?
Steps Connect the cable via USB. Next, run 'lsusb'. Admin@server ~ $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 002: ID 090c:37a2 Silicon Motion, Inc. - Taiwan (formerly Feiya Technology Corp.) Bus 005 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc.
PL2303 Serial Port Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Then load the kernel module via the following command. Note: To ensure this survives a reboot append this line to '/etc/modules' admin@server ~ $ sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x 067b product=0x 2303 You should now see that it is now showing as attached by running 'dmesg'. Admin@server ~ $ dmesg [ 131.747013] USB Serial support registered for pl2303 [ 131.747038] pl2303 5-1:1.0: >pl2303 converter detected [ 131.758965] usb 5-1: >pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 Finally, you will need to connect through to serial device /dev/ttyUSB0. This easiest way to do this is via 'minicom'. Once you have issued the following command it will present you with a menu.
Linux Usb To Serial Minicom
Change (within the 'serial port setup' option) the service device to /dev/ttyUSB0 and any other settings i.e baud rate etc. Then select the exit option and you be connected to your serial device. Ken mac. Admin@server ~ $ sudo minicom -s.
