I owned one of these years ago. It is an IR receiver for the HP 82440A/B printer infrared protocol. It does NOT do IRDA or any other infrared protocol.
It will NOT work with a USB-serial adapter, and it needs specific DOS software which will NOT work correctly under any version of Windows.
Hi Eric,
do you know if this product has an own CPU?
There was a similar product end of the 80'ies in Germany called PrintHP. This product consists of a dumb IR receiver sending the decoded 32KHz bursts to the PC CPU over the RS-232 CTS input line.
Therefore you needed also pure DOS, the special receiver software and a PC not faster than 80386 or an early slow 80486.
