IAS_DD.OS2

From EDM2

IBM OS/2 IrDA IAS device driver. These drivers work on the IBM ThinkPad 380, 380D, 380E, 380ED, 380XD, 380Z, 385D, 385ED, 385XD, 560E, 560X, 560Z, 600, 600E, 770, 770E, 770ED, 770X. They do NOT work on the 560.

The IRCOMM.SYS driver make it possible to assign a virtual COM port to your Infrared attached IrCOMM device (Cellular phone, etc.). You can then use any COM port aware application package to access the device like through a normal COM port, i.e. issue AT commands to a modem, etc.

Communication Applications tested with this release are:

  • InJoy IP Dialer V2.3
  • Opalis BTX decoder (German online service)

IrCOMM also supports printing via the infrared port. Just install the right printer driver, then point it to the COM port IrCOMM is using. For Win-OS/2 printing, you can select the same COM port as you Win-OS/2 printer port.

Printers tested so far:

  • HP LaserJet 6MP
  • HP DeskJet 340

Whenever the IRCOMM driver detects a device, you will see the red indicator come on and tell you there's an active connection.
