Fellow NewtonTalkers,
I read the following thread on smaller.com :
http://talk.smaller.com/Forum1/HTML/002339.html
It seems that a company called "Small Dog Software" has created a product
called "Back Talk" that provides industry-accepted IrDA IrOBEX protocol
support for the Newton 2x00 platform !
WOW ! ! !
See : http://www.smartdogsw.com/news/backtalk.shtml
With this you can exchange data with Palm Pilots, WinCE devices and the HP
CapShare 910 / 920 handheld scanner .
What is very important about this development is that Smart Dog Software
states on their Back Talk FAQ page that they are considering support for
IrDA IrCOMM ! ! !
See : http://www.smartdogsw.com/backtalk/faq.shtml
NOW is the time for all good Newton 2x00 users to stand up and be counted
by Smart Dog ! ).
I urge you all to e-mail Smart Dog and show your interest in such software !
Contact : smartdog@smartdogsw.com
Regarding an IrDA serial port adapter for your desktop....
A company called ACTiSYS http://www.actisys.com produces a device
called the ACT-IR100S that supports IrCOMM.
See : http://www.actisys.com/InstantIR.html
Unless I'm terribly mistaken, this device and the software that Smart Dog
might develop could allow us to have what we have all wished for, cable-less
connection to our desktop systems ! Forget the "dongle" ! ! !
Wooo - Hooo !
Best Regards,
