RE: TI-H: IR link



and to make matter worse, i checked out the schematics and compared it to those of the $4 link, and the pinouts don't match, so the inverted signal is coming from nowhere.  That is, of course, assuming that you're on 25-pin.  on 9-pin, there's a similar problem.

Has this been.. uhh.. tested yet? I'm wondering how RS-232 became involved
in this if we're using the "$4 link" because the "$4 link" does not use
the RS-232 protocol (it DOES use an RS-232 serial port, but it does not
actually use the RS-232 protocol), and I can't see any ICs on the
schematic that would be able to tell RS-232 from anything else..
