[comp.sys.handhelds] HP28 and 48 RS232 IR-> RS232 convertors

I have seen many postings recently about the possibilities of converting 
HP48 and HP28 I/R outputs to RS232. I wonder if this should be added to the 
list of FAQ's? Anyway, It _is_ possible. I have designed decoders for both 
machines, and the designs are public domain. The HP28 one is output-only,
works at 4800 baud, and the circuit is available as a set of 5 HPGL files and
instructions. The HP48 one is bi-directional, works at 2400 baud, and the
circuit is available as a TTYpic. I posted that to the net a few months back, 
If enough people haven't seen it and want it, I can re-post again. It is
reliable, the Boolean Algebra and Digital Simulator programs were both
up-loaded by it, and I have also down-loaded much stuff from here.
