IRDA MOTHERBOARD INTERFACE HELP!

[PrivateTester]

I need information, I can't find/out of stock the tfds4500 and tfds6500e on my location and my question are:

1.) Is it possible to use the irda tranceiver of an Nokia 7110 or 6110 as a substitute for the tfds4500 or tfds6500e and how can i connect it?

2.) Is there any new diagram for a irda motherboard interface that uses simple parts?

I'm just a newbie in this personal hobby of mine.

Hope someone one there can help me and thanks for reading/suggesting me.

Good day!

1) It might. I bought a TFDU6102 for such a project and it looks identical to the unit I took out of a busted 6210.

2) I have one, let me dig that up. Funny thing is there's no IRDA plug on my new M/B. I was looking for one because the old one did

Here's the PCB, still looking for the schematic. It has SMD parts but it's simple enough. I can post in vector format if you want (*.eps etc).

Thanks for the info, but are the parts in your diagram are the same as the ones in the irda motherboard project?

Thanks again.

Oh, I didn't realize you were taliking about a specific project. I thought you just wanted one...
