Try:

'dmesg | less"

You will get lines such as:

hda: IBM-DARA-212000, ATA DISK drive

i'm not sure what you're asking, but you might try lsdev too - i believe this shows all the devices in use... i could be wrong though

(sorry I want query "How does it show?")

thanks all. dmesg command showed:

usbserial.c : PL-2303 converter defected
usbserial.c : PL-2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs) What does devfs mean ?

But is it /dev/ttyUSB0 , /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 or /dev/usb/tts/0 ?
***I don't found /dev/usb/tts/0.***(Redhat 8.0)
And does it have other command (or application) to show my device is plugging where port ?
***I think my sample. ex. drive c: = /dev/hda
mouse = /dev/...
my device = /dev/usb/ttyUSB0
