Ok. Is this downloadable from Polar.com? >The IRDA is still not working, and has been reported loong time ago. Can you map the IRDA device to a com port in Wine? >Links to polarsites and update is still not working. In other words, you cannot update Polar Trainer from within Wine, correct? >Therefore it is still not possible to run PolarProTrainer5 in Wine. First thing is that the IRDA interface needs to be functional as a serial device or this will NOT work in Wine. If the device requires a 'special' driver then it will not work in Wine, possibly never. However, when I used an IBM Thinkpad and it had an IRDA device, I was able to map it to a Com port (5) and use it to transfer files to/from another Thinkpad. This was a LONG time ago. I don't think that my Mac has that capability but I can check. I am under the impression on my Mac I have to buy a USB <-> IRDA adaptor in order to use this function. For my Polar CS200CAD I have to use a microphone and be in a very quiet area. Linux is NOT supported for this type of Cyclometer, but I've read reports where folks have made it work in Wine.
