Firewire ????

[Juan14]

hi,
i have an old scanner that requires FireWire port,
and the scanner SW requires an old OSX,
also has a windows version, but is more complicated in 64-Bit Windows.
anyway...
Question:
¿does Parallel support FireWire passthorugh devices? like USB?
in OSX or Windows VM.?

i have installed the Old OSX, its ok
i have installed the old Scanner Software, its ok.

Similar to this Parallels 9 thread, but this is for Parallels 16

1. Click on Parallels Desktop icon (II) on the Mac menu bar > Preferences...
2. Go to the Devices tab and mare sure that none of your Firewire®/Thunderbolt® devices are set to be connected to a virtual machine.
3. To change where to connect a device to, double-click on it under Connect to section and change assignment to Your Mac.
4. Close the preferences window and try using the device on the Mac side.
