direct import form dive computer

[Alessandro Volpi]

Dear Jef,

I have downloaded the full memory content of my Galileo Trimix computer.

The resulting files can be found in my Dropbox folder, subdirectory
galileo_trimix_import :

 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dsg43qcbo013i1k/AAC_vCS3cZeZar5i3HngCNq3a?dl=0

I have also tried to do the same with my SmartTec computer.

For my dives I usually wear both computers, so that their contents should
be the same.

Unfortunately I was not able to download any file from the SmartTec.

The subsurface error message is "Could not connect to the SmartTec
computer" or something similar.

The SmartTec computer hardware is working perfectly. I have downloaded 112
dives form its memory relying on SmartTrak; the program was executed on a
virtual Windows XP system on the same computer used for downloading the
Galileo Trimix files.

I guess that some bug in the IR interface causes the failure of the data
download  from the SmartTec.

It is worth while to mention that the IR interface is a package not being
maintained for many years.

The interface works with Ubuntu Trusty, at least with the Galileo Sol
device.

It DOES NOT WORK AT ALL with newer systems, such as Ubuntu xenial and
Fedora 24.

I would like to try once again, if you or someone else in the mailing list
can give me some suggestions about connecting the SmartTec with the linux
IR interface.

Best regards.

Alessandro
