The also define the port numbers.

Do you mean that the Windows driver does not submit more than one URB
at once?  And that it never puts more than one byte for a port into
one packet?  Is it possible that the device want a F5 port number at
the beginning of every packet?

Anyway, all bulk packets must be explicitly accepted by a device,
so if the SAC-2K accepts a packet and then does something wrong,
it's the device's fault.

To force the driver to submit no more than one packet at once,
replace OUTPUT_URBS with a variable and set it to 1 for this device.
