When stuck at home for a while I start writing, often about obscure topics that interest me. Here is a guide I wrote yesterday about COM Port settings for scanner users that I hope you will find useful.
COM Ports Settings Guide for Scanner Users

Hi Rich, I am running Freescan on Windows 11 with Parallels on a Mac Mini. I am trying to program a BCT15X Freescan can not find comm 1 and will not connect. The device manager is no help, no port choice. I have downloaded all the latest drivers (which Windows will not install BTW). I do have an older BCT15X that I used Freescan with no problem, that was years ago on an older Mac. I have also installed virtual comm ports and no luck there. Sentinal runs fine on the virtual machine. Now I looking at a refurbished laptop for cheap to program one scanner. Any ideas?
Sorry for rambling on just frustrated.

In Parallels you need to assign the USB device (USB-1 cable) to the Windows guest OS. I think it is in the Devices menu but I am not sure as I have switched to Windows full time and let my Parallels subscription expire.
