download+driver ftdi 1.0.2154.0
I need a second serial port for a project, so I went back to Fry's and bought a second USB to serial converter. They no longer had the model I bought previously. The first one I purchased was the FDTI chip set. This new one is the Prolific chip set. I downloaded a new driver install from their website. After installing and rebooting. My AVR JTAG works with either USB converter. The Prolific is running Driver Version 2.02.1. The FTDI is running a driver version of 1.0.2154.0.
Your mileage may vary, but on my Dell Laptop running XP, either device seems to work fine.
