IR possiblity?

[azcaddman]

So, got a nice shiny new Advantage 7501, wm6 ... life is good.

Then i install the traveltrak CE software for my dive computer (uwatec 2g). I've used it for the past couple years on my ipaq hx4705 to download dive log info (while still on the boat) via IR .. you also can setup the dive computer via the IR .. much easier than the 2 buttons on it.

anyway, the 7501 has no IR? with a 4 into 1 (usb host) cable would it be able to use a USB-IR dongle?

I think for remote control, the speaker-IR range extender (from griffin tech) might still work with their "total remote" software.. will try it later

its really a case of trial and error. wm6 does have ir functionality, though how it responds to external ir devices is a mystery to me at least

it's a USB host device... don't see that working.
