#133253 - Nothing to do with serial-to-USB
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I discovered the COM9 limitation for the first time just a week or two ago with some USB-to-serial converters. Do you have any more insight into this "cheap method" you're talking about?

I beleive that it has nothing to do with serial-to-USB devices or drivers.

As I understand it, it is completely down to lazy application developers who couldn't be bothered to work out how to properly list available ports - so they just give you an arbitrary list of 1-9.
