Gordon McKinley – March 29, 2014

Does what it is supposed to do. It is reasonably compact and comes with the USB extension cable. Used it with a Win 7 laptop and it took only few seconds to download my dive computer log. I don’t have any specific negatives about it. I just don’t give out 5 stars very often.

I went to Fry’s and bought a cheap Infrared adapter but the lastest drivers for it was 2006. So I bought this one and it worked in seconds, is very fast, and I have had no problems with it at all. I would definitely recommend this one.

I bought it for use with a dive computer and didn’t want to purchase the brand name one which looks identical to this one. Haven’t had any issues thus far

Item performed as hoped. Finding software that works with older OS is difficult to find, so I was pleased this device was available. Was able to upgrade all the EMS’ AED’s on a Vista laptop.

Scooter – October 30, 2013

I just completed my certification on the Poseidon MKVI Discovery rebreather and wanted to review settings and dive log on the system. When searching for an IrDA device, most sites wanted about $100 for this same unit – the price on Amazon was about 75% lower and it works without any issues on a Windows 8.1 operating system. No external drivers needed from the included CD-ROM (miniature one). Can’t go wrong with this unit at this price!
