I have a mouse GPS which is a USB based mouse , but actually it has a driver which makes it show up as COM6.
In Vbox menu i see options for serial ports from COM1-4 with I/O port and IRQ.
What are the values for COM6 ?

I don't think that there is a defined value for com ports over COM4. I think they are definable by the unit and are actually virtual values translated to direct memory and free IRQ. Have you looked at the value when it is plugged into the host to see what it says there?

I think a better way would be to attach the USB device to the VM and install the drivers inside the VM.
