I tried two of the black boxes once sold at c-base (BenQ boot cable).
I'd rather try to find and add the Vcc_3V3 line first before adding a pull-up 
on Rx.

Noise on the ground line? I tried a lab power supply instead of the 9V 
wallplug, no avail.

What about the OTI6858 used in some mobile phone data cables? Unfortunately 
mine broke recently.
I ordered a new cable and got a PL2303 inside (but with a Vcc wire).

I got a FTDI FT2232D DIP module here as well - meant to be used in a JTAG/RS232 
adapter sometime.
But this one still misses the adapter board.

Regards,
Jörg.
