    Hmm. -4v seems low, but if it works... I know I'm abusing the serial port, but I've used this circuit many times may be the prolific device is different to mine???

    BTW are you driving it from a PC or laptop? (laptop USB ports seem to lack the ooomph required for most USB devices)


    You could try sticking a 10u cap between the DTR line and Vss just to stiffen the -ve rail a bit.
