another cable question

[greggbruceauto]

to deal with GM OBD1 8192 baud communications reliably, you NEED a FT232R to do the work of converting data back and forth. 8192 isn't a standard data rate, which is why it's so unsupported.

Sooooooooo -- does that mean my cable (RS232) definitely will NOT work -- and I need one that says FT232R ? Is that a 'type' of serial interface?
