Re: USB Port as Virtual COM Port



Sounds like you have a completely wrong conception about the USB. You can 
not use it as a "Port" of any kind. This is like you say that you want to 
talk to your Ethernet port or your PCI.

You can only talk to a device connected to the USB. If there is a device 
that handles USB to serial conversin then likely it already comes with 
the necessary drivers.
