Below are some configurations that have been reported as working by various users. Probably the most important considerations are the version of Win93, the type of cable used, and the COM port type ("standard" or USB).
Thanks to the users that have supplied this information!

The following information was reported by users in response to a query on the Yahoo PRO-93 board. There had been several postings regarding problems with the two-way cable from pro93.com. Unfortunately, the information below may not be of much use, as the only people that responded to my Yahoo board query were people that have no problems with the cable!
Interestingly, none of the replies I've received so far indicates a cable received before 14 Jan 2002. Perhaps the people having problems received their cables some time ago?
The list contains date ordered (or received), any adapters included or required (if that info was provided by the user), and the working/not working status of the cable.
