RE: Kat5 IR feature

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

*grin* Get me a set of daughter boards over and you can add:

IR543AH,
Panasonic NVHS1000 VCR
Pioneer CLD925 LD Player
Sony CX860 DVD changer
Yamaha DSP-A1
Nokia OnDodgy Box

....of course it'll al work as it's all run of the mill IR stuff.
