Hmm, that part number sounds like a machine that might be supported by
NetBSD/hp700 :P

As noted by uftdi(4) and various websites, HP has made a FTDI-based
converter, however AFAICT that is probably P/N 5184-2238 model MT608-2.

I was only able to find one page when I searched Google for "PA718A FTDI".
Not reassuring.

The photo of the PA718A at http://www.hp.ca/catalog/accessories/accessoryDetail.php?id=2&accid=52534&lang=EN
looks much like the MT608-2 pictured at http://www.cooldrives.com/hpusbtosedb9.html.

Looking at
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11948_div/11948_div.HTML
seems to suggest that this particular model may be part of a series of
part numbers specific to the models of machines it came with. Note the
function of the PA716A.

I'd be willing to bet the PA718A is a uftdi(4).
