DBpro doesn't interact with 'ports'. Rather it interacts with devices: Ex: a joystick or a drive. If you're looking into reading/writing to a portable USB drive, it should come up as one of the drives in 'PERFORM CHECKLIST FOR DRIVES'. Input devices, such as joysticks, can be used through the [INPUT] command set.

Couldn't you send commands via COM1? Many computers don't even use that port anymore for mice. It shouldn't be hard to hook your robot to a serial port. I'm not sure if this will really work or not.

You can access USB through a dll. Not natively through Pro though. I'll see what my research of my hard drive will bring up as I was doing some USB work, some time ago.

It seems that I deleted all my WDM projects all together. Sorry I couldn't help.
