I have every intent of using USB to serial and parallel converters to
drive radio control and tracking devices (FodTrack).  
It seems unlikely that someone would do a dedicated USB unit, but I
wouldn't mind seeing one.

   racking devices used to turn antennas and change frequencies that are
on
   the market right now use parallel ports.

   Some use a serial port for some items.

   I was wondering if anyone is working on a system that would use just
USB
   for it all?

   I know I have capability to add more USB ports easier then I do
anything
   else.
