I've shot HIE in a Holga with the film number window taped over.  Works
as well as 35mm film in a 120 camera ever does.  No fogging though.
Also have put quite a bit of HIE through reloaded Konica single-use
panoramic cameras--exposure on those cameras works out to somewhere
around 1/125 @ f.11.  The last roll had actually been rolling around in
the trunk of my car for almost a month before I found it and decided to
use it in the plastic camera.  It was fine!

Putting Konica IR into a Holga  might cause the long exposure problem
George S. mentioned.  Cheers,
