This solution could work with USB as well without (much) confusion. Multiple SDR-1000 USB devices can be used simultaneously on a single computer. I may be slightly biased here, but I think this is much easier than adding parallel ports to your computer (especially laptops). Although USB is supposed to be plug-and-play and not bother people with technical stuff like port numbers or I/O addresses, we can make the USB driver detect which physical USB port the adapter is connected to. We simply need a setting in PowerSDR software to select the USB port we want to use with radio 1,2,...,N. I will look into this after the weekend. 73, Sami OH2BFO
