Hi Brendan,
I'm always checking the port description through Device Manager so if it tells me that the serial to USB adaptor is on COM10 (say) I then set EQMOD accordingly (as wellas getting EQMOD to do a search).
I'm still setting up so only one item is being plugged in at a time. I'd be surprised if the devices are using too much power. I'm not driving any of the devices yet and they are plugged into the PC with no extensions. Once I know they work I'll extend the cable by 4m but I'm not there yet.
I found a an old USB1.0 hub which I haven't tried yet. If I can get the devices to 'talk' I can then worry about the data transfer speed.
