I'm also working on a USB CDC class driver for the LPC214x.

Not as far as I know.

In my experience, windows just assigns the next available com port.

When resetting the USB CDC device while it is open (e.g. in HyperTerm)
the 'next available com port' is increased. For example, when virtual
COM3 is opened in hyperterm and the device is plugged/unplugged,
COM3 gets 'zombified' and the device is now assigned COM4.

There was some recent discussion about making a USB CDC COM port
persistent on the usb.org discussion forums.

I had to manually extract it from one of the .cab files in
<windows root>\Driver Cache\i386
(driver.cab or sp2.cab)
