Features: Jury is still out. Will fix rating pending outcome. [Posted on 2008-03-31]
I want to reserve a rating until this matter is resolved. I ordered an item from PC universe, through Amazon. I received the wrong item, and I had to return it by printing out a label and finding a UPS drop off location. I have never received the original item. I have contacted PC Universe about this, and I am awaiting a response. As it stands, this could be two coincidental things: wrong item sent, failure to send correct item, but I am still put out by having to drive somewhere to send it and having to print it out the label myself, which is a hassle if you don't have a functioning printer.
Customer service was helpful otherwise.
A better solution, and quite frankly is the response I was expecting, was to send the original item expidited with a return envelope for the incorrect item. How hard would that be?
USB Irda Adapter [Posted on 2008-05-31]
The Adapter is fine, and the price is terrific. The instructions, however, are not good. They are unclear, difficult to understand, and the illustrations don't always match what comes with the included software.
Solved a problem for a tablet PC [Posted on 2008-06-26]
I needed to sync a Palm phone to a tablet pc, the Tablet PC did not have an IR. XP for tablet PC did not include a driver for my Palm Phone,
was able to plug the IR into the PC and sync my phone to outlook for the first time. Have bought from Cables Unlimited multiple times, have always been happy with their service and speed of sending items.
Great choice [Posted on 2008-06-26]
It was a good selection for me because it does exactly what i needed, and compare to others it's price is fare.
Good Alternative to Overpriced Polar Accessory [Posted on 2008-09-09]
Like many reviewers here, I purchased the Cables Unlimited USB1510 USB to IrDA Adapter to replace a Polar USB IR Interface that was failing. I found it looking for less expensive alternatives to the Polar version.
I'm using the Adapter with my Polar 610i, PPP v.4.03.050 and a ThinkPad running Windows XP Professional SP3. It's reading faster than my old Polar unit used to, and seems to have less trouble managing larger numbers of files. So far, it's excellent value for the price.
Strangely, the annoying little CD that came with the Adapter didn't have a driver for XP on it; however, there's one in the driver package that can be downloaded from the Cables Unlimited website. XP may also have a compatible driver already.
For those who are having trouble getting it to read, here are the settings noted by J. Gilmore in his review last year. With these settings, PPP should read through the Adapter with no problems:
Options -> Preferences -> Hardware -> IR Communication port -> This should be set to "IrDA"
Options -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Mobile Connection -> Make sure this is unchecked
Then from the same window:
IR Communication port -> Options -> Make sure the first four boxes are checked.
