| Nice first cut at this. But please try to also convert 2 other drivers

I'd love to do that but, unfortunatally, USB-Serial cables are too
expensive in Brazil (and I have no sure if I can find these ones in
Curitiba).
The Prolific 2303 cables I have were lent by Mandriva.
Couldn't someone send these cables for me in Brazil? I can send they
back when the port is finished.

Hope to have something to show in the next days.
