I wasn't aware that Gold Disk had a similar product at all. Thanks for letting me know. Their hardware sounds similar…. basically an IR emitter controlled via the joy port. I don't know about GD, but I like the flexibility of being able to use other ports as well (serial, parallel, audio — shoot, Geodesic seems to have covered all the bases!). The 'training' software for AirLink is pretty simple to use. I've already used it to train four devices (CD, VCR, two laserdisks) with no problems. I've 'driven' the software from a CanDo application (sort of a 'super remote control) via ARexx with no problems. I suppose that Geodesic's seperate ARexx control package may offer even more control. I'll know soon. Does the GD product offer any sort of wireless xmit mode? That sounds like the next logical step. (ie. like Geodesic's PowerMid X10 interface)? Sounds like there is competition in this marketplace! Great! –jp–seattle–
