Hello, list,Quite a few MB's have the header for attaching an external ir port, the chipset to use the port is on the MB. If you were to look at the manual that came with your MB there should be a pinout for that port.
Using Alan Cox's dmidecode utility, I discovered that one of my
boxen apparently has an IR connector:
Handle 0x001B
DMI type 8, 9 bytes.
Port Connector
Internal Designator: IR1
Internal Connector Type: Infrared
External Designator: IR1
External Connector Type: Infrared
Port Type: Other
Do I *really* have such a thing on this beast and, if so, what do
I do with it?
Thanks,
Kurt
Now if you had a laptop with an ir port, you could use that to transfer files, or if you had a printer with an ir port then of course you could use the ir as the printer port.
One other way to see if you have the ir port on the MB is to look at your BIOS setup and see if there is a setting for it...
Cheers
