The M1535 South Bridge is set to decode the following address ranges: (hex) 2e, 2f, 62, 66, 60, 64, 378-37f, 778-77f, 2f0-2f5, 3f7, 3f8-3ff We want to set bit 4 of b4 so that it will decode 0x2f8-2ff as well. Unlike the Intel board, it looks like that's the only change needed to let the driver talk to the IrCC in the chip... You might still need the setsmc program I supplied, but there may be some changes needed due to the way ALi implemented their version of the IrCC. See below... Oh, and what exactly is BIOSDUMP.EXE?

Have you tried this? I hadn't looked. :-( It's there, and the main difference between it and the smc-ircc driver is that the ali-ircc driver runs the FIR and SIR through a single IO port (COM2) rather than using seperate FIR and SIR ports. In fact, the ali-ircc driver looks like it'd work for any smc-ircc chip, but I can't confirm that until I recompile on my laptop, and/or get the ALi data sheet for the IrCC functionality. It'd certainly simplify my task, anyway. But the 47n227 datasheet certainly looks like it'd party OK. This makes sense to me, since the port can't be used for SIR and FIR at the same time, so why not decode them both in the one spot. Also makes the possibility of Consumer IR mode being hooked in at some later stage more possible. (I want to use my laptop as a glorified remote.... ;-) But you still need to enable the South Bridge to decode 0x2F8 (see above) and to tell the SMSC LPC47n227 that it's second COM port is at the appropriate address... Daniele, can you grab the testport (I think....) program I posted to the list, and try it? If you need to, I can send it to you off-list (I'm sure these guys don't want to see it again....) Your config register looks to be 0x2e so it should work fine out of the package. But I'd like to know if the SMSC LPC47n227 is already configured or not... -- =========================================================== Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 4th year B.SEng student, ANU (Student Number s3160518) The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
