    Hi all,

    to correctly use a USB-serial adapter from Prolific (the widely adopted 2303 chipset) in Parallels 10, do I need to install as well the drivers for Prolific adapter in OSX (Yosemite) or is enough to have it all configured in Windows XP?

    I ask because for now I use it only with drivers in Windows, but randomly it disconnects and I need to disable and reenable it in Parallels to get it back, and I have no useful log in the OSX console to understand what's happening and why it disconnects sometimes.
