I need to make a USB port COM PORT 1/2/3/4.....it is for a new computerised
cash register. Is this possible?

A couple of ways you can achieve this:

1) Write a driver to make a USB port to operate as a standard serial port.

2) Get a USB to serial cable and let that handle the conversion for you.

Disable the built-in COM ports in the motherboard BIOS, then the first USB
serial port installed should become COM 1...
