	I doubt that if the reciever built into the drive is only connected via
the IDE interface that it is likely to ever work with lirc. I was always
under the impression that it was built to act like the remote controll
for a component cd player, and would act independently of the operating
system - maybe i was wrong. 

	I'm not familiar with the Infra product line. It appears that there is
at least one version of the Infra reciever that is a serial port device,
and that this reciever works with Linux. 

	You could probably use the remote controll with a different reciever,
if the Infra drive doesn't have a connection for a serial port.
