Just wanted to mention that I ended up spending 20 minutes and less than 5 
dollars at the local radio shack making a simple IR transmitter. Anyone 
messing around with a IR-200l, you are wasting your time. Its not worth 
the fustration. I suck at soldering and had it up and running the first 
try.
 
These are the only parts you need from (thanks jds-myth!at!losdos.dyndns.org)...

276-1538 - Connector, 9-Position Female Solder D-Sub  
276-1122 - Diode, Pkg10 1N914/4148
271-1328 - Resistor, Pkg5 3.3Kohm 1/4 Watt 
276-0143 - LED, IR 940nm, 5mm dia.


Here is a picture of what it looks like with and without the cleanup...
