Given the time frame, your KUSB is probably Prolific.  You can
confirm that in the OS-X "System Profiler" (Apple | About This
Mac | More Info).  In system Profiler, select Hardware | USB
then highlight the KUSB.  The extended detail will provide the
"Vendor ID" and "Manufacturer" among other information.
