Guys (and gals),

Are there any alternative IR-Sync software (preferrably freeware) that is compatible with the visor, other than IRLink? I'm too poor, or too cheap at that to spend 20+ bucks. I'm kinda hoping that the coming software upgrade from Handspring will support IR-syncing (ala 3.3).

I do not currently have access to a computer with IR capability, so I have not been able to experiment to see which of the following are compatible with the Visor. But I know of the following IR-Sync software for the Palm: <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI> IBM's IR synchronization driver - The license however says that it is only usable on a WorkPad, so this one is out. <LI>IS/Complete's IrLink v1.5 - $19.95. <LI>IS/Complete's IrSync+ - Freeware, no support, no warranty. <LI> Palm's Enhanced Infrared Update - This was meant to be used on a Palm III (running PalmOS v3.0). In the ZIP file are 4 PRC files. I have heard indications, but haven't yet been able to fully verify that this can work on a Visor if you don't load all of these files. One of them, if loaded, will interfere will some Hotsync feature of the Visor. I think it was USB syncing. I did start experimenting and I loaded all but the amx.prc file. I haven't had any problems syncing serial or USB. Have not been able to try IR.</UL>

Several people have successfully installed IBM's MorkPad Sync on their devices. Here's a link to the discussion:

If you use Palm's Enhanced Infrared Update it is important that you not install the amx.prc file it will crash you Visor.
