FTDI's Usb to serial cable utility "FT_Prog" allows user to program a unique Product Description into the usb cable eeprom. It would be helpful if a ScriptCommunicator worker script was able to retrive this string.

This is a windows problem linux will give you the description set in the eeprom while
windows will give the description from the inf files. Link

Reading the FTDI eeprom is the only way to get the custom description in windows
using the FTDI DLL or something like https://github.com/vpreatoni/QtFT232.
