installation help - please.. about Creatives Infra CD-ROMs

[Otto <ott...@ke...>]

Hello!

two small questions, please reply..

1) Since when has LIRC supported "Creative Infra 1800 CD-ROM remote control"? 
Is Creative's Infra supported in 0.6.6 or only in 0.7-cvs?

2) Does anybody know how this hardware works anyway. Does the remote control's 
signal go to the system via the IDE-cable or via the audio-cable and 
soundcard? How does the BIOS see the infrared port? ..as a virtual serial 
port or what?

3) If somebody already has done it  - how should I install this hardware in 
short?

Thanks a lot for any replies,

-Otto
