Best Answer

Both of them are serial interface ports, but the protocol, connectors, bit rate and just about everything else is different. It's kind of like asking what's the difference between a Chevy and a Ford pickup: they're both trucks and they work approximately the same way, but that doesn't mean you can take parts from one and install them on the other with no problems because the details are different.
