hahaha !! 
Absolutely Right @ RetroLefty !!
Wouldnt ya know it, at the time i made these modded PL2303's i was completely oblivious to the CP2102 USB adapters and soooooooooo-WISH i would have known about them back then as it was alot of NECK-ACHE to tediously solder onto Pin 2 of the PL2303 chip - a serious amount of headache too lol x 2 !!!
was indeed challenging to do but i think if i make anymore of these then ima definitely going to buy the CP2102 adapters and mod them easier lol !!
thanks so much for the heads-up too !!
why-o-why didnt i consult these forums back then lol ! well, some learn the hard (stupid!) way eh !!
