And that does seem to be quite possible as I don't believe the name is unique. USB Prober on OS X should let you watch and see if this happens when you plug in 2 of the same kind of devices. You may be able to access some other device information via declares, etc to determine which of the devices you actually have. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
