USB recording using more than one USB device

I'm looking a acquiring a USB interface and wondered if more than one
can
be used to record tracks a the same time. The software bundles are
capable
of many tracks but the device has 2 outputs-2 tracks. Can 2 different
models
be used to record 4 tracks, say a Lexicon Omega and a Tascam US-144?
Computer has 4 USB 2.0 ports plus a 54mm card with dual USB 2.0
ports.
Thanks!!
No, they can't. Windows wants to talk to a single software driver. There
exist a number of Firewire devices that can be concatenated on one buss, and
are run by a single driver. But not for USB, and never for combinations of
hardware from different makers.
