I just spoke to some coworkers of mine who use Windows on notebooks and they suggest you look in your device manager at comm and LPT ports. You'll probably find it there. It also does kind of a neat thing depending on your point of view. If it is a RS-232 device, it will assign it a comm port number based on the USB port you connected it to. While I stood there, a guy plugged on in and got Comm5. He then moved it over to another USB slot and got Comm3.
