I have this wonderfull powerbook Pismo 400 and a beautiful Handsrping Visor. I want to be able to hotsynch with IR and was wondering if anyone has had success hotsynching a palm top device with their powerbooks via IR?

I've been hot-syncing my Palm IIIx via IR to my Pismo, and its been working very nicely. I love not having to have a cradle and a cable. It seems to go faster, too.

Can you please post how exactly do you get it to work? Do you use 3rd party software?

This topic was discussed less than a month ago. Remeber that the search function can often lead you to the answer you need: http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/Foru...ML/000228.html
note that a Handspring might already have the IrDA libraries (irenhance.zip) installed, if so, go to the Serial/IR preferences panel on the handheld and set it to IR. Otherwise follow the instructions above exactly.

I got a program from IS/Complete (http://www.iscomplete.com/) that allows you to hotsynch the visor. I have a WallStreet 233. You need to follow the directions closely and get some additional software from the Palm site.
It is not as one-step as the cradle, but it is great not to have to travel with the cradle.

Hi, Mike,
I don't use any third-party software -- just Palm Desktop 2.5 from Palm and the standard Pismo (now at 9.0.4) IR stuff. It is pretty straightforward. I've made my PowerBook my main Palm companion -- no longer sync with my desktop. And part of the reason for that is the IR.

Since I can't use my cradle, I thought I'd give it a try tonight.
I had to change the appletalk setting to the irport and start up file sharing (according to some instructions I read) and it worked like a champ. I was suprised at how fast it worked. It almost seemed faster than the cradle.
