The module is documented, the pin doesn't look in that difficult a
place.  Seriously, my tech could probably do at least 50 of these an
hour.

This is what I'm less sanguine about.  When I thought it was a "real"
Prolific chip, I assumed that there would be at least a CTS.  And
maybe there is, but I'm concerned about the handling of it.  I've gone
off the idea of this module a bit simply because the chip is not
documented, but if it really is just a single blue wire from the
module to the USB converter, it would make a great solution.
