I apologize for the previous partial reply. My space bar combined with a bad mouse click triggered the send.
Serial Ports get even worse on Windows. If you move the USB plug to another USB port on a machine, then Windows XP will assign another Serial port (com6, 7,8, etc) to it, keeping the old serial port information in the system, assigned to the old USB port. It may look like the old USB Serial port is still available under the old identifiers, it just won't open properly. wade On Mar 09, 2007, at 10:11 AM, Jim Wagner wrote: > Thanks, Joe.

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>
