[RTTY] FTDI USB Adapter?

[KC4HW/Jim]

Trying to help my brother with a new computer Win 8.1 and USB 2.0 
ports to find the correct adapter to allow for Yaesu Rig Control and 
RTTY/CW via a W3YY interface. 

Does this look like the right adapter?

Is it still the prudent think to create a \HAM directory in Win8.1 for the 
Ham Radio Software?
