What are the actual Device Names for up to date PC Ports like : USB Port 1 , USB Port 2 , etc.

USB completely changes the way raw devices are accessed from software. We can no longer use simple COM1/COM2 names, etc. unless the USB driver creates virtual serial (or parallel) device within the system.

In order to communicate with raw USB devices, you would have to use either WinUSB (built into Windows XP or higher) or libusb (cross-platform, third-party) or some other similar library.

I have written a library that works with FTDI USB serial port devices, which I plan to release one of these days...
