<pre wrap=""> According to the Product page on Hiper's web site, it has a VFD with
a Windows XP/Vista driver and shows an "IR Transceiver Driver" for XP as
well.

On closer inspection, the driver is only an INF file which describes a
"Itron IR TransCeiver" IRBUS USB driver. Oh what's this in the lirc
mceusb2 driver?
USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_ITRON, 0x7002) }, /* Itron ione Libra Q-11 */
A match for the same Vendor and Device id listed in the INF file (That
is in CVS right now, not sure if it is in 0.8.1)
So looks like it may have both the VFD and IR reader. Someone go buy
one and confirm!

Well it lists MCE Compatable Remote Control as an accessory. I
found a review with some pictures here (in french)<br>

And it complains about the lack of a remote control and tuner card, but
don't say anything about the lack of IR port. From some of the
pictures, it would look like IR receiver would have to go in the same
place the VFD is (only hole through the metal of the case that isn't
taken. It could be built into the VFD circuit board, which also
appears to be USB.<br>
