Are Prolific a manufacturer of USB interface chips, like FTDI are?
Yep

Hang on, I just remembered I use an FTDI adpater in some of my Arduino projects and they work.
They will 99% be USB to TTL converters, ie not suitable for the 497 handbox, as they use different voltage levels.
ie the Arduino chip will probably be 0-3.3 or 0-5V, whereas a true rs232 chip uses ( approx ) +/-10V
