How many USB port serial and parallel port are available in computer?

That depends on how many are installed. One used to be standard on the motherboard. Some modern PCs have deleted that port since USB is much easier to use. If your machine has PCI or other expansion card sockets you can buy parallel port expansion cards and add several. It is also possible to add parallel ports using USB to parallel port adapters.
How many do you want?

How are input devices connected to the computer?
A device which connects to the computer is called a "peripheral."
Why is ubs put an improvement over serial parallel parts?
One of the major advantages of USB over Serial/Parallel ports is the increase of speed between the device and your computer. Also, USB devices can be chained together so one USB port can be used by many devices. Lastly, USB is considered "hot swappable" - therefore your computer can easily disconnect one device and discover a new one that you have plugged in.
What is the definition of parallel computing?
The definition of parallel computing is the processing of data many bits at a time as opposed to serial computing which is the processing of data one bit at a time.
Differences between serial and parallel interfaces?
The difference is that serial transmissions only use 2 wires for transmitting and receiving data, and only 1 for sending or receiving, and can only send one bit at a time. Parallel cables use several wires for data transmission and is much faster than serial thus 8 or more wires are carrying data *parallel* to each other to it's destination. serial data data (8 bits) transmit -----------010101010-----------------> single line to transmit on receive <--------------------------- single line to receive on Parallel data (80 bits) transmit multiple lines simultaneously ---- 010101001-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101001-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101001-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101001----------->

How parallel processing affects the speed of computer processing?
Parallel processing allows the computer to process 2 things at once. However on it's own it doesn't help, computer programs have to be written to use it. Many operating systems are written to take advantage of parallel processing between seperate processes, and some programs are setup to use parallel processing withing their own process.
How many bits at a time are transmitted by a serial cable?
1, (serial means in series therefore in a series only one bit of information passes at a time) - the opposite is 'in parallel'.
How many number system are available in computer?
two
Are all XBox games available as computer software?
Many titles are only available for the Xbox.
How do you redirect a serial port to output out of the parallel port?
You don't. If you are wanting to plug something into the serial port, and it is the same size as the parallel port (it isn't a parallel port, it's a different plug for the serial), use an adaptor. I'm in the same problem. I have a laptop and a program that uses com1 and need to redirect serial communication (com1) to a parallel port since the laptop doesn't have a serial port. i have an adapter for parallel to serial connections but need to remap com1. your can redirect lpt1 outputs with mode lpt1=com1 but not the other way round. If the laptop has usb just grab a USB to Serial Adaptor. Am in the same boot. A Point of Sales app need to be connected via a com port for Receipt Printing... The Printer is a ESC/POS Printer but has a Parallel Connection... Works fine under Windows, but not in the POS App. What is needed is some sort of Virtual COM Port to Capture the Outputs and Redirect it the a Physical LPT Port. In doesn't sound hard, yet no ones don't it...
What types of guitar controller are available for a computer?
