Pl2303 is a USB to serial chip. So the answer is No.

All of the supported radios have the USB function as part of the main processor. Anything needing a USB to serial chip almost certainly is using a different processor.

Hello, so the latest firmware is not compatible with the DR-1801, if I understood correctly?
THANKS

The firmware is only compatible with radios listed in the heading of the website
Amateur radio firmware for the GD-77, GD-77S, DM-1801 Version 1 only, DM-1801A, RD-5R, MD-9600/RT-90 and MD-UV380/RT-3S and DM-1701 / RT-84 radios
It will never be compatible with the DR-1801 because the hardware in this radio is completely different to the old DM-1801
