FWIW, I ordered one of those $1.44 cables on Ebay on Jan 23rd. It arrived from China today (2/9/2015). I ran the chip checker against it and it reads as a PL-2303 XA/HXA. I have no need to try it right now so there will be no followup unless the MicroHD burps at which point I have four different generations of the drivers to see if it works.
