Mention that PL2303 doesn't work (https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck/issues/9) and tidy up a bit.

There are many different USB to Serial adapters / boards. There are many different USB to Serial adapters / boards.
To be able to put ESP8266 into bootloader mode using serial handshaking lines, you need the adapter which breaks out RTS and DTR outputs. CTS and DSR are not useful for upload (they are inputs). Make sure the adapter can work with 3.3V IO voltage: it should have a jumper or a switch to select between 5V and 3.3V, or be marked as 3.3V only.
* Note Adapters based around the following ICs should work:
- for full upload management you need RTS and DTR
- the chip need to have 3.3V TTL (5V may damage the chip)
- not all board have all pins of the ICs as breakout (check before order)
- CTS and DSR are not useful for upload (they are Inputs)
* Working ICs
- FT232RL - FT232RL
- CP2102 - CP2102
- CH340G - CH340G
- maybe others (drop a comment)
PL2303-based adapters are known not to work on Mac OS X. See https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck/issues/9 for more info.
