SERSETUP infrared mode #18

Closed fragglet closed 6 months ago

fragglet commented 1 year ago

A lot of late 90s/early 2000 laptops have IrDA ports which are actually SIR ports and can be treated like normal serial ports. The only catch is that it's half duplex and both sides can't transmit at once.

There's a good example video here:

Chris confirms in the comments that normal Doom SERSETUP doesn't work.
