The situation I am concerned about is a several of the same kind of\ USB serial ports which would use, I expect, the same driver software. Because the ports would normally all have the same name, (such as "UC-232AC" on the one I have), there would need to be some sort of uniqueness added (such as "UC-232AC1"). The concern is that, after removing and reconnecting the ports in a different order, UC-232AC1 would become UC-232AC2 and UC-232AC2 would become UC-232AC1.
