Don't think you can use your Psion 5 as an IR adapter to direct to the PC, although I did find software to sync with my old Nokia 8210 (Urgh!). Hope this helps...

Hi,
Dunno if you have already got your IR adaptor by now, but hope this helps anyway:
I just bought my serial-IR adapter form www.expansys.com for £25 (ex VAT). Works great.

Thanks alot
the 12 quid one looks abit dodgy! It's tiny!...snap! oops!
Thanks,
Dan.

It's mean to be tiny!
You connect it to the IRDA socket on your motherboard and mount it somewhere internally that has an opening
I suggest you put 2 holes in one of your 5.25inch covers and put it there

Lol, i dont trust my self with one of those! My comp's nakered enough as it is
Thanks anyway though!

I ordered the same cable from Expansys at 13.20, they have shipped it at 15.20 so I am fully expecting it in the next post.
You can't knock them for speed can you?.
Did IrDa get expensive because of PDAs and Mobiles, £30 to £50 seems a little on the dear side for such an old technology.

No idea, but it's slow as owt too.
Think i'll have to purchase the cable.
I tried to upload a 6K bg/grnd pic to my phone, but it said there 'wasnt' enough space. ( I did it through IR ). Any ideas what's up?
There's hardly any contacts on it (about 100) and there's plenty of time left on the voice recorder. Soo?
Thanks for any help,
Dan.

I bought a C PEN IR ADAPTER IRDA-RS-232 CONVERTER (attaches to serial port) from buy.com in March for $35 (US). It's a little light sensitive, but mostly works fine.

I have this tiny and cool looking(in my humble opinion) adapter. They are sold all over Asia but I can only find it online on eBay(U.S. - search on 'usb irda').
It works great (with R520m). It's BF-120, comes with a cable as well.

But I think some IrDA not compatible with Ericsson phone, this because when i use Phonebackup from Christersson.org with MA-600 it not connected, and after i try to change with Tekram Ir-Mate 210 it workingflawlessly, I think problem on sftware driver for MA-600, but this enough to make medecide to sell my MA-600 and replace it with the tekram one.just for your information.
