USB FT232 driver on M1 mini
A MAC is usually (unless it is really old) running a derivative of Unix. I would open a console install and use &quot;lsusb&quot; to list out all the USB connected devices.
A (Linux) example of lsusb:
$ lsusb 
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port

I would do this with and with out the Arduino FTDI chip connected and look for the difference. This stackexchange question/answer contains how to do this on a MAC or use other MAC commands to do the same.  As pointed out in the comments the more native MAC command is:
ioreg -p IOUSB

Note, if you have fake FTDI chips there was a time when the FTDI driver that Windows ran would brick the fake FTDI chip. I think it would assign the vendor and device IDs both to zero. You should be able to see this with the &quot;lsusb&quot; command.
