irDA

Hello everyone

I have an old apple infrared receiver that uses dab, and two powerbook laptops, a 1400s running mac os 7.6 and a powerbook 180 running system 7.1.

The problem starts here, the 1400 has already an built in infrared dispositive, and i wanna connect my apple adb receiver to the powerbook 180 so that i can exchange files. 

But i can't seem to find any software and driver to use infrared on the 180, is there any chance someone from old school know how to solve this?

thank you

thank you for the link! but stills the question, how can i transfer files between powerbook and other computers? i have an iMac g3, a powerbook 1400 an iMac g4 and an iMac g5, i think the only possibility of transferring is from powerbook 1400cs and or iMac g3. i tried null modem cable, using zterm, but idk how to configure. any idea? thank you

A Ethernet PC card in the 1400 would work. I used to use one from my Newton in a 1400. Worked great. You can get em dirt cheap online. Just have to be certain models so you can get the correct drivers. Or dont forget about a USB floppy drive for the G3 iMac.

it has an wireless orinoco gold card, but what i really want is establish a connection between the powerbook or the iMac g3 with the powerbook 180 so that i can transfer files to it. do u have any idea if i can use local talk with a null cable modem?
