+ + | +The Uwatec Galileo dive computers use infra red (IrDA) communication
+between the dive computer and Subsurface. The Uwatec hardware uses
+a USB dongle based on the serial infra-red (SIR) protocol and the
+MSC7780 IrDA controller manufactured by MosChip

+package from the Linux IrDA Project.
+After the installation of the irda-tools, the root user can specify a device name
+from the console as follows:

After executing this command, Subsurface will recognise the Galileo +dive computer and download dive information.
Under Windows, a similar situation exists. Drivers for the MCS7780 are +available from some Internet web sites e.g. +www.drivers-download.com.
