Re: [amsat-bb] infrared receiver for PC?

["Mark L. Hammond" <hammond@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to Doug, I found this clever little implementation (that uses the 
IrDA port header found on many current motherboards...).

The reason I'm interested is a solution for using my Palm at home (but 
something more clever and multi-functional rather than just another docking 
station or serial cable).

Thanks to others who gave me pointers on this quest.
