IrDA vs. IRTalk
There are two main differences between IRTalk and IrDA:
1 IrDA is an industry standard, while IRTalk is an Apple-only
technology.
2 IrDA supports TCP/IP and AppleTalk, whereas IRTalk only supports
AppleTalk.
The Infrared Control Panel will give information about any Infrared
connections that are established as well as what type of infrared the
iMac is currently set to use. In the window below, IrDA is selected and
there are no other Infrared devices in range.
