Now I have done some investigations.

The EQDirect cable looks to cause these problems. I have another cable with a DSub connector, I tested with that one too. I get the same problem, even without have it connected to the mount. These two cables I bought recently to get the new FTDI standard and get rid of all problem I had in the Windows system I use.

I did another test with a third very old EQDirect cable with the PL2303 chip. To my surprise this cable worked, I haven't tested it very deep yet, but it behave as it should. I can cut off the Dub contact and solder a RJ45 connector to it. But I still want to know what's wrong with the FTDI cables. Better if I can get them to work.

Is the wrong driver installed for them, and how do I check which driver they use and if it's the correct one ? Is it any setup in the driver that's maybe wrong, and how do I check that ?
