RS800 and OSX Leopard

[poxika]

Did anyone tried this driver :
http://www.bafo.com/download/2007_downl ... 4_v1.0.zip

It says in the readme :
This installer package contains the driver for USB IrDA bridge devices built with the SigmaTel STIr42xx family of devices.

Don't know if it works (i don't have the watch yet) and did not tried on 10.5 ...

Can any one try ?

Thanks,

JC

Hi,
Had a quick look at this - it's definitely only a PowerPC driver - whether or not it'll work in 10.5, I don't know, as I don't have a PPC Mac handy to test it on. I seem to remember that there were some changes made in the way device drivers work with the introduction of 10.5.

It was too good to be true. However, I did get the watch, and the usb adapter coming with it is now showing as moschip. They have a driver for osx, but it did not seem to work for me ... I don't think it explicitly support 10.5

Hi Stuart

I'm another one who's really keen on Intel Mac support for the RS800, was really pleased to see your last post with a download from a Polar RS800 HRM.

Could you give us any news or further update....

If your looking for people to Beta test I'd be more that happy to help, I'm sure others would step forward aswell.

Even if you can release beta software for testing, you've got my business straight away.

Hi there. I get an open IrDA port, but no downloads. MacBook pro running 10.5.7 I checked the hardware of the IrDA device, and it's the one supported. I tried closing things, disconnecting the dongal, but no dice. Any suggestions?

Hi Nancy,
There's still a bit of a problem with the driver for the IrDA unit, I think. Also, the current beta version doesn't re-try the communication, it just stops after the first try - for the 'S' types, the software re-tries the communication up to 10 times, and it often doesn't 'take' on the first try.

The next beta will re-try the CS & RS communication a number of times as well, which may help.
