can anybody help me...?



I hv 1 FT232BM chip and EEprom 93lc46. I am configuring my EEPROM using Eprog 3.0 software.



In that I do change with my own VID and PID both and downloading it to EEPROM. and change the FTdibus.inf / Ftdiport.inf file with both VID and PID.


but the problem is everytime my PC detect the same comport COM6 at all my



4 USB ports.


but when I erase and set the default vid pid then and then only PC detects the all 4 deferent PORTs.COM6/7/8/9.


I have not selected the fix serial number though it is heppend..



so please can anybody give me the solution for that.

That is exactly what is supposed to happen.

Correct. If you erase the EEPROM, there is no unique serial number in de device, therefore windows assigns a COM port number according to the used USB port.

Using a serial number makes windows use the same COM port number regardless of the USB port you have used.
