Hi Joseph,

Not quite sure what you're asking... are you trying to collect all possible /dev names for various
USB/serial adaptors? If so, one technique I've used to avoid that is to scan the /dev list before and after
the gizmo is plugged in ... whatever new name appears, that's the one to use, you don't need to know in
advance. Just an idea in case you find it useful.
