I have been developing an interrupt based library that has capibility
for many types of IO.  Currently I have working RS232, LCD, X-10,
RS485/RS422, AD (I am using a '71), and SONY IR.

Let me know if you want try and build your own.  You will need a
RS232 driver (MAXIM), a Radio Shack IR cube, a 40KHz oscillator,
a PIC16C71, and a crystal.
