Hi
I am developping an optical communicator for widespread use which will be
relesed as open hardware. It is running 260m/115200bps at the moment and I would like
to make it faster, but I have two choices:
1) Make my own adapter which would connect to parallel port, contain about 10
common CMOS chips and be very cheap and write a driver for Linux for it. It
would not work under Windoze but it wouldn't matter as long as Windoze and
Microsoft suck,
2) Use some MIR or FIR card which is expensive but adheres to the IrDA standard.
The electronics in this case would ve exceptionally simple.
What is your suggestion?
Then I would like to know: Is it possible to run the system only on FIR
channel and omit the initial SIR negotiation? Would it be difficult to extract that
stuff from the protocol? I need the channel only for PPP.
What about the 16Mbps FIR? Is it already in common usage? Is it possible to get some
adapter which supports it?
Is anybody here willing to send me some two FIR adaptors for ISA or PCI for me
to complete Ronja and release the specs for public usage?
