Mmmph...  I was afraid of that.  Has anyone carved it open to see 
whats in it?  Mine came from Radio SHack, has only the "USB-Serial 
Cable" molded in on the molding, and has Radio Shack logo's on the 
coinnector moldings.  I get the impression its actually a solid 
casting and one would have to grind the plastic away to access whats 
in it.  If thats the case, it might as well be truely a black (its RS 
Grey) box.

Is there anybody at Prolific that speaks english?

Actually, is there a machine there?  I just bombed out of a traceroute 
to there (tech.prolific.com.tw), at a machine on the same subnet and 
2 numbers lower.  Googles cache of that page would appear to be the 
correct site.  Unforch, nobody is answering the door when mozilla 
knocks.  I'll keep trying as the subject crosses what little mind I 
have left.  Thanks for the reply, I know you are busier than a one 
legged man in an ass kicking contest.
