What is the range of the Infrared Drive and how do I know if it is working or not ?
The range of operation depends on what device you are working with. Generally speaking, working with another PC equipped with the Infrared Drive warrants the longest range which could be 6 to 10 feet. Working with a notebook computer would give you a range of 4-10 feet. Palm devices and digital cameras are very energy consious and would not put out too much power in supporting a good range; they have a range of only 1-2 feet.
