+ * Prolific PL-2301/PL-2302 driver ... http://www.prolific.com.tw/ 
+ *
+ * The protocol and handshaking used here should be bug-compatible
+ * with the Linux 2.2 "plusb" driver, by Deti Fliegl.
+ *
+ * HEADS UP:  this handshaking isn't all that robust.  This driver
+ * gets confused easily if you unplug one end of the cable then
+ * try to connect it again; you'll need to restart both ends. The
+ * "naplink" software (used by some PlayStation/2 deveopers) does
+ * the handshaking much better!   Also, sometimes this hardware
+ * seems to get wedged under load.  Prolific docs are weak, and
+ * don't identify differences between PL2301 and PL2302, much less
+ * anything to explain the different PL2302 versions observed.
+ *
+ * NOTE:  pl2501 has several modes, including pl2301 and pl2302
+ * compatibility.   Some docs suggest the difference between 2301
+ * and 2302 is only to make MS-Windows use a different driver...
+ *
+ * pl25a1 glue based on patch from Tony Gibbs.  Prolific "docs" on
+ * this chip are as usual incomplete about what control messages
+ * are supported.
