I'm curious, and sorry if this has come up before: Any chance someone can
get the RCX to communicate with IrDA devices? I'm thinking specifically of
small hand-held computers. I don't know much about infrared data
transmission, but it based on Markus' work it sounds like the IR port on the
RCX is not *entirely* hardwired...

IR transmission was pretty tough to get at. Carrier frequency was the
final key - there are no crystals to create the IR carrier, so the
processor has to provide it.
It turns out that 8-bit t1 output is used for just that purpose. Guess
I'll have to rewrite my scheduler to use the 16bit timer now. Anyway,
native IR transmission works now.
