 Great device at a decent price October 12, 2008
Aaron M. Brown (Honolulu, Hawaii)
After reading all of the review I settled on the Cables Unlimitted IRDA port. I put in the software, plugged in the USB IRDA port with the included USB extender cord and it worked like a charm. This is my first encounter with a IRDA port and it was most pleasent.
Good Alternative to Overpriced Polar Accessory September 9, 2008
ABthree (Oak Park, IL USA)
Like many reviewers here, I purchased the Cables Unlimited USB1510 USB to IrDA Adapter to replace a Polar USB IR Interface that was failing. I found it looking for less expensive alternatives to the Polar version.
I'm using the Adapter with my Polar 610i, PPP v.4.03.050 and a ThinkPad running Windows XP Professional SP3. It's reading faster than my old Polar unit used to, and seems to have less trouble managing larger numbers of files. So far, it's excellent value for the price.
Strangely, the annoying little CD that came with the Adapter didn't have a driver for XP on it; however, there's one in the driver package that can be downloaded from the Cables Unlimited website. XP may also have a compatible driver already.
For those who are having trouble getting it to read, here are the settings noted by J. Gilmore in his review last year. With these settings, PPP should read through the Adapter with no problems:
Options -> Preferences -> Hardware -> IR Communication port -> This should be set to "IrDA"
Options -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Mobile Connection -> Make sure this is unchecked
Then from the same window:
IR Communication port -> Options -> Make sure the first four boxes are checked.

Solved a problem for a tablet PC June 26, 2008
Fixit Wizard (Tacoma, WA USA)
I needed to sync a Palm phone to a tablet pc, the Tablet PC did not have an IR. XP for tablet PC did not include a driver for my Palm Phone,
was able to plug the IR into the PC and sync my phone to outlook for the first time. Have bought from Cables Unlimited multiple times, have always been happy with their service and speed of sending items.
 USB Irda Adapter May 31, 2008
D. Gerstner
The Adapter is fine, and the price is terrific. The instructions, however, are not good. They are unclear, difficult to understand, and the illustrations don't always match what comes with the included software.
