Hello all,

I'd quite like to use the Apple Universal Remote with my 4 month old PB. Unfortunately, I don't have Infrared built it. Since I'm not doing a lot else with my PC Card slot at the moment, I was wondering - does anyone know if there are any Infrared PC Cards available which I can use with my PB?

Thanks.

Why PC Card instead of USB?

Simply cos I'm using both of my USB slots frequently, whereas the PC Card slot is left free. There's USB IR recievers? :O

Tigerdirect has USB IR receivers. I have no idea what the driver situation would be like, if any.

Check Froogle, there are quite a few USB IR recievers.
You could get a USB PC Card to solve that problem.
