On a typical setup, only one device can be connected to the ports. However, if you have a special USB port, or a device that will split a USB port, you can connect 2 or more devices.
127
There are many types of peripheral devices, but an example of three would be a printer, scanner,and web cam.
One advantage of a peripheral device is that it makes many networking tasks easier. A disadvantage is compatibility issues that can occur.

Input from the user to the computer can come through many peripheral devices such as the keyboard, mouse, touch-screen, a modem or a web camera.
In theory a single hub of USB can support 127 devices. In practice, this will not actually occur. Most computers do not have enough power to drive that many devices. A reasonable number would be about 20.
2. All IDE conenctors allow for two devices to be connected to it, it cannot handle more than that
A device which connects to the computer is called a "peripheral."
Four computers and two phone devices can be connected with that.
Invention patented by Hubert Kuo and I-Ming Lin on March 17th, 2003. Abstract: An embedded control unit is installed in a notebook computer, so as to take the place of the programmable processor in many conventional notebook computers for controlling peripheral devices. The embedded control unit includes a plurality of peripheral controllers, so as to control the peripheral devices usually used by typical notebook computers. The peripheral controllers can be directly connected to the peripheral devices, according to the specifications for different types and/or brands of notebook computers. In addition, the peripheral controllers can achieve control of the peripheral devices according to the non-adjustable internal register settings. In this way, the control of the peripheral devices can be achieved without using firmware, thereby simplifying the notebook computer development process and reducing the development cost.
Peripheral hardware. There are many different peripheral devices, but they fall into three general categories: Input devices, such as a mouse and a keyboard. Output devices, such as a monitor and a printer. Storage devices, such as a hard drive or flash drive.
