Ya can't. The Hewlett-Packard HDSL-1000 IrDA transceiver (that connects to
the onboard IrDA connector) ain't available locally.
What *is* available locally is the MA-600. It's 2500 in Greenhills.
Connects to the serial port. You don't really "lose a serial port" because
on the onboard IrDA on the main board eats either COM1 or COM2 anyway.
However... the onboard IrDA can run up to 4Mbps I think (FIR) while the
serial port with MA-600 can only do 115.2kbps (limitation of the UART).
