How many peripheral devices can be connected to a single USB port?
On a typical setup, only one device can be connected to the ports. However, if you have a special USB port, or a device that will split a USB port, you can connect 2 or more devices.
What port connects up to 127 devices?
USB Will allow up to 127 devices per host controller. Usually, a host controller has more than one USB port. The host controller will only allow 127 devices in total (including hubs), so you can not have 127 per port.
Are port expanders made for specific computer types or are they generic devices that will work on any computer?
A port expander, or more commonly know as a port replicator or docking station, is generally computer specific. A port replicator does not introduce new hardware, but merely a means to give the port a physical connection. The connector between the computer and the port replicator provides an electrical conduit between the device it's self and the port. There are USB port replicators, but these devices do not offer the same functionality as a true port replicator, because they are limited in speed by the USB port.
