Thank you for the suggestion ; I already knew about this option, but have intentionally chosen not to use it. Once the VIP/PID is changed, it will no longer work with the Windows app that came with the cable to program the radio (Yaesu FT-897d). When I choose to sell the radio, then I want to be

Ian, Thank you for your prompt reply. Looking at the usbdevs file, I found 0x2100, but there is no entry for 0x9e56, which is my device. So, I'm assuming that changing uftdi.c to the correct name for the VID will only solve part of my problem. I will further assume that I need to find the corre

I added a line to the table, but it seems to have failed since I used the VID# instead of the VID# name. Where are the VID names mapped to the VID#'s? Apparently, I know enough about coding to be dangerous. I'll do some more digging to try to fix my own error. Here's a diff of the original sour
