Hi, I just wanted to know if there is some kind of infrared transmitter solution for Amigas that use the serial port. I have seen Infrarexx, but it uses the joyport.
Is there some serial, or even parallel IR transmitter device with some support driver/software?

Thanks

Its not IR, I have a bluetooth serial device that i use with my minimig 1.1. I use it to transfer stuff to and from my notebook computer. If you get on, make sure it supports hardware handshaking.

with 2 amigas you could probably use 2 of those devices and parnet. i believe it also has sernet for serial.

or maybe this

I have never used it, but its from the well-known Matt Dillon (Dragonfly BSD, not the actor)  :)

Its possible I could parnet my Minimig to a UAE amiga.

hope that helps...

This is pretty cool for adding Bluetooth to TTL circuitry or rs232 driver..

Very cheap package,  I modded my custom made car computer OBD-1 serial adapter to stream serial data over bluetooth :)

You'll probably need a max232 to make it work with amiga serial port but wow. but still, cheap, this BT thing i bought was $80. also i'm betting it does not support hardware CTS/RTS and DTR/DSR handshaking making it no good for a lot of things.

edit:

wait it does look like it at least has CTS/RTS. not sure if things like AmigaForever also need DTR/DSR

What's wrong with XON/XOFF?


It only works for ASCII data, not binary, so there's your problem :)
