I have some additional debug data that may point to the problem with the ¡°bad¡± USB port.
?
The X220 has three USB ports, two are USB 2.0 and one is USB 3.0.? The port that does not work with jmri and my DCC-EC controller is the USB 3.0 port.
?
Now, here is the kicker.? The USB 3.0 port does work with both jmri and my older DCC++ controller, which uses an Arduino Uno, and it works with the newer DCC-EX controller if I use DCC-EX Web Throttle. But the DCC-EX controller will not work with JMRI on the same port. Jmri starts but the Power button is labeled Unknown.? (The DCC-EX board uses an ELEGOO MEGA 2560 R3 board.)

Trevor,
?
The Base Station entry is apparently related to the Lenovo docking station. That one went away after I updated the X220 drivers from the Lenovo site.? The PCI Serial Port remains after the driver update.
?
I still don¡¯t know why one of the two DCC systems works with the ¡°bad¡± USB port but the other one does not.? However, I don¡¯t really care anymore. I dug out the docking station, wich ahs lots of ports, and the DCC-EX system works just fine.
?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Vic
?
I'm glad you have sorted it out.
?
The entries under the 'Other' section in Device Manager sound like PC system devices, rather than anything to do with your DCC-EX systems, especially as they come back after a reboot.? I wouldn't worry about them, and leave them there.
