I've ordered a new ftdi chipset usb converter.

Most likely the FTDI converter will work fine (unless its an
unfortunate crap clone). The driver use by software load and
HL32 are slightly different, and we've seen numerous cases
where only one of the two work with some converters/drivers.

Let us know how it goes,
Thanks,

use a memory stick (avoiding endless Winbloze issues)...
