Hi Steve! Get the IrDA Drivers from Microsoft at their Website. I don't remember what the file is called since I always rename the files to something meaningful :) It really works and I personally think it is still quite amazing - beam and that's it. It is at least as fast as with a normal parallel cable. It also comes with a small utility that makes sending files to another computer really easy. It is neat when you meet someone with a laptop in a cafe or such, and I've exchanged Dial-up scripts this way, and the occasional little game ;) axel >I have a 365XD and a HP Laserjet 5MP with an IrDA port.
