WACCOM MINI-8900 programming software
Open WebCHIRPWebCHIRP programs the WACCOM MINI-8900 in your browser. It runs the CHIRP project's own driver for this radio, so it reads and writes the same codeplug the desktop software does — without installing anything.
No driver install needed
WACCOM programming cables use a CH340, CP2102, PL2303 or FTDI USB-serial chip. WebCHIRP speaks to all four directly from the browser, so there is no driver package to download and no Windows version to match. Plug the cable in and pick the port when the browser asks.

Questions
Do I need to install a USB driver to program the WACCOM MINI-8900?

Do I need the WACCOM CPS software?
No. WebCHIRP runs CHIRP's own WACCOM MINI-8900 driver in the browser, so it reads and writes the same codeplug the desktop software does.
How many channels does the WACCOM MINI-8900 hold?
200, numbered 0 to 199 in the channel table.
