I noticed the Jeteye doesn't work with my TP750. My guess is it
needs more power than the serial port can supply. I could see this
being the problem if your desktop has a really cheap i/o card.
Try running a comm program like Procomm or Telix on both computers.
Set them to 112kbps and the serial port the IR/Jeteye is on. What
you type on one should show up on the other.
The only way I can think of to figure out if one is broken is to
test then with a third IR device you know works. Also, if you
look at them through a camcorder, you can usually see the IR LED
blinking on and off.
