I think you're exactly correct John. There has to be very low level
control of the port. The trick, I suspect, is that the control may not lie
within the Palm SDK (which I suspect fully supports only IrDA), but rather
with machine coding of the Dragonball processor and IR hardware to emulate
the modulated signal.

Something doesn't make sense to me here .....
IF someone sells a piece of software which allows the Palm to
learn and speak "arbitrary remotese", then there has to be low level
software control over the port.
Doesn't that mean that who ever knows how to write that code could
also write routines to transmit and receive RCXese?
So are we waiting around for someone out there in lugnet land who's a
Palm expert to craft something suitable?
As soon as someone publishes the URL of the IRda routines, I am going
out to buy one of the little beasties. But until it can talk to my RCX, it
can
wait on the store shelf.
