This is a little problem! But With my new system that is now working it is
not a problem. I swap one byte in a time and send it over Ir. This way TI:s
own protocol will take care of errors with it's own checksum system!  
And in my system: The first thing that happens is to look at a LED and than
se if it's possible to send! In this way you can send via reflections in
wall or roof etc....
And these things works. I am now working on to make it better. 
It's also going to have a selection switch for either TI8x protocol or any
possible protocol with direct state transfer. The speed of selection TI8x is
very fast (up to  1,3 Kbps!). And direct state is fast for any good
protocol. But I will not release my software before it is really good. You
can look at scheme on my homepage under TI85 stuff or Pic projects!
