The +DLE-aware form is the right answer paired with *Series III* de-stuffing, which +leaves an escaped byte in the payload as two bytes. De-stuffing `10 XX → XX` +already removes the `0x10`, so excluding it again subtracts the correction +twice, and the result disagrees with the wire on **55 of 251** captured +responses — every frame holding a literal `0x10`. + +`scratch/mm_frame_parse.py` shipped with exactly that pairing.

Two Micromates then had to be deployed, so a **second cable** was fetched to + run both at once. +3. **Only one of the two ever worked.** The other would not talk over its modem + at any point. +4. That unit was never deployed — a **MiniMate Plus was put out in its place**, + and the Micromate came back to the bench. +5. The cable on that bench unit is a **Benfei (Prolific PL2303)**. + +So nothing degraded. The "worked at first" was the original single-cable setup; +the failure began when the pair was split across two cables and one of them was +the wrong chipset. **One working and one not, set up side by side, is the +signature of a mixed cable supply** — not of a unit fault. + +✅ **The cable travelled home with the unit** (confirmed 2026-09-25).

There is no inference left in the chain: + +| | | +|---|---| +| the cable from the failed unit | **is** a Benfei / Prolific PL2303 | +| the Micromate's USB host | has **no** Prolific driver, in either firmware line | +| a laptop on that same cable + modem | round-trips perfectly | +| the Micromate on it | never answered | + +The FTDI cable arriving 2026-09-26 is now a confirmation rather than a test. + +**Corollary worth knowing.** The standing workaround — *"just deploy a Series III +instead"* — works partly because a **MiniMate Plus has a DB-9 port directly on the +unit.** No USB-to-serial adapter anywhere in the path, so there is no chipset to +get wrong.
