I am running windows 98SE. When I use my USB hub I find that if I do
not plug the same device into the exact same USB hub's outlet the
hardware add wizard comes up to install the driver. Can I have
multiple drivers assigned to the same outlet on the hub? So I can use
the same outlet for more than one device? If I want to change and
reorder the outlets I use for different devices do I need to uninstall
the current driver at that outlet before installing a new driver for a
different device? Or when it installs the new driver does it overwrite
(delete) the old one?

As far as I've observed that behavior is normal for any USB port...

Why not just color code the ports rather than go through the reinstall
software routine?

I am not questioning whether it is normal or not. I wanted to know if
I could use one port for more than one device. And if so will I need
to install the driver each time I switch devices for that device. And
or if I reorder the devices to the ports do I need to uninstall the
current driver before installing the new one?
