Ron - You might consider getting a 4 port USB to Serial adapter. I have my IC-7000, K2, and W1 wattmeter connected to one and all three are accessbile, each with its own com port assignment.
The one I purchased is based on the FTDI chipset, like the Elecraft KUSB adapter, and was abt $44 from Amazon.
