Rich,
I take it that your laptop has Bluetooth or you could add a Bluetooth
adapter. Sure, the Bluetooth battery pack should work with the laptop. You
would have to wort out the communication port on the laptop. There is an
S&A.ini file where you can adjust the port from the default Port1 you would
be using for the serial port.
I could send this to you and you could try it if you want.
