KUSB and Windows 8

[Jim Sens]

I have a KUSB made right around the time the design switched from
Prolific to FTDI.  It has a Prolific PL2303HXA chipset in the cable.  
This particular chipset is not compatible with Windows 8 as clearly
stated by the OEM in their driver readme file.  The FTDI website doesn't
say anything about Windows 8 for their VCP drivers. Is anyone running a
K3 with a FTDI/KUSB cable from Windows 8?  73 de KX8C Jim

I bought my KUSB in late August 2009. I have had no success in finding a driver that will work with windows 8. There are no useful identifying marks on the cable so show which chip set it uses. Too bad they didn't include a USB port on the K3 or P3.
Maybe its not too late.
