WHICH "prolific usb to serial"? They have a whole slew of different
models. And that doesn't count the packagers using a Prolific chip in their
products (cf:
https://www.amazon.com/prolific-usb-serial/s?k=prolific+usb+to+serial )
I'm guessing something similar to
https://www.amazon.com/Serial-Adapter-Signal-Prolific-Windows/dp/B07R8BQYW1/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=prolific+usb+to+serial&qid=1625245702&sr=8-8
I can't really help with Prolific -- most of my USB<>serial devices are
FTDI chips. I think the Adafruit 4-pin cable is the only Prolific chip
device I have.

Do you have privileges for the device? May not be relevant, but
connecting a USB<>Serial to the USB side of my BBB (I don't have a native
Linux desktop computer, and Windows won't be helpful to you) shows up like
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jul 2 13:21 /dev/ttyUSB0
the default user for the machine does belong to the dialout group.
I got the same thing for Debian running inside VirtualBox /after/
manually selecting the USB device from the VB0x menu...
BUT... unlike the BBB, my user account under VBox does NOT belong to
the dialout group, so I would have not permission to use it without making
changes...
