Lately I have been playing around with #IrDA due to my current #PocketPC #Palm and #PDA obsession.

It's so cool doing wireless file transfers between devices. It's like pre-Bluetooth.

Is there ANY way to get IrDA working on a current #Windows 10 or 11 PC with a USB IrDA dongel?

I have heard conflicting info on this. I want to say the answer is no but then projects like Irdroid muddy the waters for me.
