Wanted: USB IR Widget

Anyone know where I can purchase a USB IR Widget that will work with IRScope? Even a schematic/parts list will work.
I sent an email/message to Tommy Tyler about his hardware but haven't gotten a response. (I know, be patient).
Just wondering if there were alternatives.

The widget started out as a do-it-yourself project. Google
IR Widget Kevin Timmerman, and you'll find plenty of references to the Widget with instructions on how to make the original widget.. I know that Tommy made some mods to the original design, but I don't know if there is anything that would make it incompatible with the current IRScope, but I would doubt it.
The widget with IRScope is extremely helpful. I couldn't/wouldn't do without one. It takes all the hassles out of capturing signals!

As Tommy says in his order post:
If you have not received this acknowledgement of your inquiry within 24 hours it may mean I did not receive it. Please try re-sending it, or send me a PM.

I haven't resent the email but I did send a PM a few days ago with no response. I'll try both again.

1. Tommy never fails to answer. And the Widget/IRscope tools are fantastic.
2. They got snow, tons of it, in Colorado, he might have gone skiing

3. Might your email client software or your firewall be blocking emails from some unknown to it people? Whitelist it if you can.
