V&A VA4000
The V&A VA4000 is a USB PC interface cable for various V&A multimeters.
It seems there have been at least two different revisions of the cable. The older one used a Sunplus SPCP825 USB-to-serial chip (see here, here, or also check the drivers from here), the newer revisions use a Prolific PL2303HX chip.
Hardware (old cable version):
- USB to serial chip: Sunplus SPCP825
- Crystal: ?
Hardware (new cable version):
- USB to serial chip: Prolific PL2303HX YR0903A
- Crystal: 12MHz
Works with:
- TODO.

Victor 86C USB cable
The Victor 86C PC interface cable (doesn't seem to have a specific name or part number) contains a USB/HID chip.
Hardware:
- USB/HID chip: Unmarked SO-20 chip
Works with:
- Victor 86C. Maybe other Victor models(?)
Where to buy:
- The cable ships with the Victor 86C. It's unclear whether it can be bought standalone (without DMM).
