Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a IrDa driver for the e-100 that allows it to communicate with other devices without a program such as Conduit's Peacemaker...
I know the newer Pocket PCs have this functionality out-of-the-box but does the casio have a driver for this?
Thanks!!

Re:
It depends entirely on the device you are trying to connect to.
If it is something like a printer or a cellular phone you very definitely need a driver supplied by the specific equipment manufacturer or a usable substitute.
For example I have used Ericsson IR modem driver with a Siemens & Nokia cellular phones to connect to the net for email & browsing.
If it is to connect to a PC or a notebook you don't need one.

Re:
Windows CE like the version you have do not use drivers
persay. You need a program like the Peacemaker that has
the support built in. There are no such thing as installable
drivers like the desktop Windows.
The newer PocketPC's have this feature built into Windows CE.
Good luck

In computing, a device driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device.
A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine
in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the
device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in
the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface.

Drivers are software programs written by a device manufacturer for components (such as a sound or video card) which, when executed, enable the device to communicate with your operating system. Most components come with a driver CD that enable you to install the drivers on your hand drive per the manufacturer's instructions.

To find and install the driver for the simple communications controller:
Go to Device Manager and click on the pci simple communications controller
Go to Properties and then Details. You will see a code like PCI/VEN_8086&DEV_27D8&SUBSYS... The VEN code means vendor and the DEV code means device: in the example the vendor is 8086 and the device is 27D8.
Once you have the two codes, go to www.pcidatabse.com. Enter the two codes and you should get the name of your hardware.
From there, you can search for a driver download for your hardware.
