let me put it this way: finding a *reliable* prolific driver for windows
and especially Osx was by magnitudes the most tricky bit of porting the
SRM download code from linux to these systems. I think we tried all
drivers for Osx that were available at that time and only a single one
worked. Of course, the original prolific drivers were the first we
tried... and they were the worst as they seemed to work, but caused
consistenly corrupted data during the download. Your symptoms sound
exactly like the pain I was going through at that time.
I'm really sorry, I can't help with this. The Osx system I had access to
for testing the SRM download doesn't exist, anymore :(
