A Clone adapter should connect if the adapter setting in the Gear/Connection Icon is correctly set(should be set to either FTDI {Recommended for all FTDI/ELM327 type adapters} or COM{Tricky} rather than "Auto") and the FTDI drivers are installed (See here https://ftdichip.com/drivers/)

Any Adapter calling itself ELM327 and having an external HS/MSCAN switch is a "Clone" as there are no Genuine ELM327 Adapters in production today! Of the "Clones OHP ELMCONFIG w/MS Switch was probably one of the better clones!
FORScan has progressed far beyond the "ELM327 Clone" adapters capability!

This Link to the FORScan Product/Download Page has Sales links to the Adapters FORScan has provided development advice in and/or recommends: https://forscan.org/download.html!
