Extended Systems DC051013 C Pen Infrared Serial Adapter

Extended Systems DC051013 C Pen Infrared Serial Adapter
  • Transfers data between your C Pen and your PC
  • Supports IrDA infrared communication standard
  • Operates up to 3 feet away
  • Connects to PC serial port
  • Supports Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0

If you have a laptop, you can probably transfer data to it via its onboard Ir (infrared) port. If you have a PC, and most do not have Ir ports, this Ir adapter will work, *IF* you have a serial port to spare. Most of us do not have an unused serial port, so such devices require swapping and rebooting. New to the market are USB IrDA adapters. These work well out of the box and require no swapping or rebooting. The price is a bit higher for now, but I think it's worth it for the increased ease of use.
