Sorry about not being to clear.  I want a few things as outlined below.

1       pic to pic ir comms (2 way) like an serial bus but ir instead of wires
2       home automation - a mac controlling a terminal, lighting and small
robots (ir robots)
        this could be achieved with the mac modem port or adb either sending
numeric codes to be later         interpreted by the pic to carry out
commands or route data to terminal or ir
3       a good mac adb joypad (a friend is prepared to make the mac software)
4       a serial switch to switch data from serial ports to modem, no2
above, interfaces, terminal etc


The ir may be driven using normal serial on a carrier. Any thoughts/circuits?
PC versions would be useful too as the tech department at school uses them
and I have plans in mind for it too!

Thanks  Tim

Bye the way has anyone entered a micromouse competition with pics.  I am
thinking of attempting this next year.
