Thanks... I am familiar with Prolific's warning letter on the subject and have no reason to believe the device I'm using is counterfeit.

OS X identifies it as:

Code:

USB-Serial Controller:

  Product ID:    0x2303
  Vendor ID:    0x067b  (Prolific Technology, Inc.)
  Version:    3.00
  Speed:    Up to 12 Mb/sec
  Manufacturer:    Prolific Technology Inc.
  Location ID:    0xfd140000 / 6
  Current Available (mA):    500
  Current Required (mA):    100

This site verified the VID/PID extracted from the device and reported above are correct. If it's a fake, it's such a good one I think the only means of identifying it as such would require forensic methods beyond my reach.
