&lt;p&gt;Running the &lt;strong&gt;Transcend MiniCPAP software&lt;/strong&gt; on an &lt;strong&gt;M-series Mac&lt;/strong&gt; (in my case an M4 Pro) inside &lt;strong&gt;Parallels Desktop&lt;/strong&gt; was not plug-and-play.&lt;br&gt;
Windows 11 ARM detected the Transcend Micro as an &lt;strong&gt;FT230X Basic UART&lt;/strong&gt;, but no suitable driver was available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The trick was understanding that the Transcend Micro uses an &lt;strong&gt;FTDI FT230X&lt;/strong&gt; USB-to-serial bridge.&lt;br&gt;
The solution required using the correct &lt;strong&gt;ARM64 VCP driver&lt;/strong&gt;, editing its &lt;code&gt;.inf&lt;/code&gt; file so Windows would accept it, and working around a Parallels path issue.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
