Barry, Responses imbedded:
I use a Desktop with PCI serial port card but have a friend who is going to be getting a K3 and use it on a laptop. If he gets 2 of the USB to serial adapters will he be able to use both at the same time? Yes I had some a while back (5 plus years) and if there were two in the PC neither would work. He might like to do FSK RTTY and that needs a second serial port. I am hoping things have improved since then. Has anyone here tried more than one at a time? Yes, if the serial port is to be used as an audio device, it will show up as an audio capability (USB SignaLink shows up as USB CODEC) and can be selected as an for output and input). If it is for serial use, each USB port will have a its own serial port assignment (AND different types of USB converters may have a different serial assignment when used on the same USB port). They will all work together because Windows 7 assigns the port number and I think I have seen it not always be the same even for the same USB port. You will have to go to Device Manager to see what ports are available (OR in some programs look at the comm port you have configured and click to change it and the program will show you what ports are available. I have a MOXA 4 port that works fine with my laptop for portable use but i got it used at a real nice price. I use the Edgeport 4 and an Edgeport 8 on another machine (4 and 8 ports each on one USB connection) and have never had any problems with either of them doing anything. Like you, I acquired them both on eBay at a really good price.
