Casio sell a plain old **serial** port IR adapter called a gIRbil for use
with their PDA range. It also works very well with mobiles namely 7110's,
6210's, 8210's etc. I have one.

Contact Casio Spare Parts & Accessories (tel 020 8208 9567) and ask for Mike
Ringer. He's a contact I know thru work - they are a customer of ours!

Just been online to http://www.casioextra.com and found a USB version.
Select "All", "USB Connections" and "gIRbil" from the "Product", "Category"
and "Includes text" boxes at the top of the page.
A bit pricey at UKP 39.99 (online price of 37.99). Try calling Mike.
