Linking the Revo To a Laptop / PC by IrDA

David Fanshawe has very kindly generated these step-by-step tips for successfully establishing a good IrDA link with PsiWin on his Revo once you've got all the necessary hardware and software set up and running on your machines (i.e. after following the instructions below).  As far as I can see, these steps apply equally well to any EPOC machine - so it's definitely worth taking a look at them.

A downloadable copy of his instructions in MS Word are available here:   Revo_IR_Link.doc (58.5Kb)
