PL2303 non-Gx are difficult to find and have the wrong PID #3

PL2303 Serial chips have become difficult to find. The latest variant this project is based upon, the PL2303Gx hasa different product ID (PID) of 23A3 and therefore is not recognized by the Boost CD unit.

Workarounds involve either rewriting the PID on the OTPRom (it works) or using a different chipset that has also an overwritable VID/PID.

Solution potentially found with the SiLab CP2102. Spoofing the VID and PID to look like a PL2303HX works, somehow !
