The first device was purely and IR module (i think; i've never seen one), the second was a combined "pc-mouse to msx-mouse"and IR device. The Remouse can olnly receive IR signals, not send them. But you could emulate a joystick by using an ordinairy tv (or other) remote-control. These devices where made by "the bytewizards" from drenthe-the netherlands (please someone correct me on this if i'm wrong; I'm typing this from memmory, my remouse is about 150KM away at my parents' house) Edwin ps. I've made the IR-sending "device" from the website and it works perfectly ;-) -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
