M2 Mac with niche USB and Serial equipment

[ArntH]

Hi

Im having trouble connecting to a bunch of different USB equipment at work. This can be PLC's, USB interfaces for configuration of Heat-Meters, Flow-meters, serial adapters and so on. Common to them is that the Virtual Windows machine does not recognize the used "com-ports" an example is stuff like this: https://www.kamstrup.com/en-en/product-centre/common-usb-driver#tab=Resources

I get the USB equipment to connect to my Windows WM by "normal parallels means" but I run into this problem:



I'm not able to get the drivers for this equipment to work on my M2, even though it work fine on my old intel based Mac. Has anyone managed to solve the problem with niche drivers for product specific equipment for ARM?

Has anyone got USB to Serial cables to work on an M1 or later based MacBook with parallels?

This is how it looks on my intel based Mac.
As shown below, they both register as COM ports.
Has anyone gotten com-port equipment not designed for ARM to work with som workaround of some kind?
