[Coco] Plugging more stuff in to the RS-232 Pak

[K. Pruitt]

Is it possible to power an IR LED via the RS-232 pak and successfully send a 
set pattern of signals to an IR-controlled device?

In other words, can I use my RS-232 pak to turn my CoCo in to a TV Remote? I 
have no idea at what "baud rate" those signals are sent out. Can the CoCo 
match the speed? I'm guessing yes.

Certainly someone has tried this already, if it isn't just out and out 
stupid. It sounds pretty simple. A resistor or two and an IR LED?  I have a 
bazillion remotes around here I can pull an IR LED from. Am I going to blow 
up my CoCo! Hehe.
