Interesting, that was the driver that did not work at all for me on this
adapter:

The driver that did work was this one:

I found it from this Microsoft blog page:

It may be that the really cheap adapters like these are fake Prolifics,
or else they are missing something in the eeprom configuration(maybe no
eeprom at all?).

Cheerful regards,

Bob
