Allegedly this would work.

I get the feeling I could give any of the cables I've bought over the 
years to any of you and it'd probably magically start working as 
intended.  :-)

Incidentally, the cable that I have has exactly the same appearances on 
both sides, though it has (obviously) the PL2303.

So... yeah, I'm clueless.
