This infrared adapter was exactly what I needed. Never had any problems and easy setup. I was using it with a Galileo dive computer to download my dive log. Great little unit at a great price.

Running Windows 7 Pro (64bit) on Dell XPS-8300, this IR Adapter installed easily and runs like a dream – no issues at all. I’ve used it to transfer files and programs between the desktop PC and several different portable devices – all without a hitch. It has good range and a relatively wide angle of coverage. I don’t think you can beat it for the price.
