Ok, make that three days.

Having hooked up a PL2303-based USB serial cable, I conclude that it works, and without a long-term test I can't see any particular difference to the FTDI board.  It's just possible that the jitter may be slightly higher, but I have no logging with which to collect statistics at the moment.  That will be more than I can get done before I go away.
