- ASRock ION 330 HT
- Asus Eee Box EB1501P
The ION 330 HT's successor, the ION3D 152B should also work, assuming
ASRock kept using the same super i/o chip, but I have no direct
experience with it. I own the other two. The ION 330 HT has an
onboard receiver driven by the nuvoton-cir driver, the Eee Box has
an onboard receiver driven by the ite-cir driver. Both support full
suspend and resume (with resume via IR), though the patch to make IR
work after resume on ite-cir only just got sent upstream.
