Works great! I use it to connect my Galileo Luna dive computer to my laptop. Transfers data super fast and setup is very easy.

I have an old Palm Tungston E2. It would not connect to my PC to download in my new Windows 7. I discovered I could also use IR. My original IR worked very slowly, but it did the job. The original one broke and I purchased this unit. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Speedy and starts up immediately.
I recommed it, it’s great.
It waxs purchased at Amazon, and the delivery was great.

I upgraded my computer which operates on Windows 7 my Uwatech IR reader was not compatable with the new software. Instead of purchasing another Uwatech Reader I purchased this reader, it works well and saved me money

Bought this to download dive info from my Uwatec Aladdin dive computer to my Windows 7 PC. Easy installation – didn’t even need to run the CD that came with it. Love the USB cord, makes for easy alginment of the infrared with my dive computer. Price was significantly less than the manufacturer’s infrared adaptor.
