[Dx4win] USB to parallel port

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

For USB-to-Serial -- not David's question -- why would anyone buy 
anything but a converter with an FTDI chipset?  In 8+ years of 
supporting N1MM Logger, I saw literally a hundred people with Prolific 
adapters who had problems, versus ZERO with FTDI.  Why mess around?
