I've done quite a bit of experimenting at this point, first off simply
switching the bit doesn't make it work. Secondly the irda narrower pulses
don't work, I've tried, and I've also examened the signal via a protocal
analyzer, it just don't want to sync properly. I tried the sertool, but I'm
on a IIIxe, and when ever I attempt to change the baud rate I promptly get a
'fatal error', and have to reset the palm.
I do have software the works properly with IrDA (There are several
devices, the old ones have IrDA compliant hardware, for cost saving the new
ones don't). I can communicate fine w/ the old hardware using a small piece
of code I've written. I've been experimenting with silghtly modifying that
code to see what will work with the new hardware.

now this is intrieging, I knew about the pulses, I knew about the polarity,
but I didn't know that the uart was AC coupled. This may make this part of
the project impossible w/o external hardware.
Thanks for the help.
