No. Both COM ports and USB ports are serial interfaces, but the COM interfaces are driven by single device UARTs.
Yes on a modern computer you will need a USB to 9 pin RS232 converter or previously use the LPT parallel port.
USB port
The USB port is hardware.
No. The term serial port refers to the older 9 or 25 pin, male connectors on the back of a PC. They were used for connecting to modems, certain printers, and mice.A USB port, while it is technically a type of serial port, it is incompatible with the old type of serial port. A USB port gets information about the device from the device, while the old type serial port simply transmitted data. USB to serial adapters do exist, but compatibility can be a challenge.
A FD (flashdrive) is a portable data storage device that uses flash memory. A USB port is a port for a USB cable or anything that has USB capabilities, to plug into. For example, a FD normally plugs into a USB port.
USB port and USB drive i believe mean the same thing so yesAnother AnswerUSB Port refers to the femal jack on the exterior of the computer case. USB Driver refers to the software interface that manages the data trafic passing through that port.
I get the same thing :/
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...
There are none. The USB port has remained the same physically since its introduction.

See what COM defines is the communication ports and hence COM 1 is one of the USB port or might be some COM ports you have on your motherboard back. You can refer to the map of your motherboard to know which is the. port for COM 1.

You can plug your ipod into the USB port. You can find the USB port sometimes on the front of your desktop but there is always a USB port in the back of your desktop. Same goes for a laptop but the USB port is found on the right or the left side of the laptop.
The USB port on the LG Rumor is the same port at the bottom of the phone used to charge the phone. A special USB data cable must be purchased to connect to the phone.
I assume you mean CARD instead of port; an SD port and an SD slot are essentially the same thing. The answer is that you don't. You can, of course, get an SD card reader that plugs into a USB port.
It is not compatible with USB 1.1 but it is compatible with USB 2.0 and mostly it matters on what motherboard you have. With USB 2.0 is a USB 3.0 port, the speeds will be the same but if it is a USB 3.0 in a USB 3.0 port, the speeds will be increased to about 4.8 - 5 Gbps compared to 480 Mbps.
