Hello: This message is directed especially to Or Botton. It concerns electronic project books available from Radio Shack which show the hobbyist how to easily build many various small electronic devices, including IR interfaces. Or is interested in experimenting with some kind of IR interface for some port of his computer. I told him about the project books and said I would check at a Radio Shack near me to find out whether the booklets are still available. In the 1980's I built many different types of devices by use of these booklets and I found them very easy to understand. The following project books, by Forrest Mims III, are currently in stock at my local Radio Shack. They cost $1.99 each: 1. Engineer's Mini-Notebook, Op Amp IC Circuits 2. Engineer's Mini-Notebook, Sensor Projects 3. Engineer's Mini-Notebook, Communications Projects 4. Engineer's Mini-Notebook, Optronics Projects 5. Engineer's Mini-Notebook, Science Projects 6. Solar Cell Projects. Radio Shack does not ship outside the US. I could acquire the booklets and ship them. I would ask only for the purchase price plus sales tax (4.5%) and postage. If interested, please write me privately to provide shipping address and to discuss method of payment. Various other electronic project books by Forrest Mims III are probably available from sources other than Radio Shack. The author is well known. Sam Heywood
