I thought it would :-) What I mean't, was, yes, I think it should... as it
works
the same "way" as the Ti protocols, just with different Bits. As it, eg.
it Sends ASCII 6, and waits for a reply. Etc :-)

I think I'll subscribe to the asm83 list now ;-)

Erk. You are saying that *both* the lines are Bi-directional ? There isn't
a Tx and a Rx ?!? Hum. This is interesting....

Well, I can at least use these IR modules for an IR link of the Casio
units at school....
