    First time poster here, but I've found some useful info here many times before so thanks for all that.

    So I have a MS-1029 barebones on order as well as some guts to go in it. I was thinking. Some of the early MSI notebooks had a remote in the PCMCIA card slot. They also boasted an InstantOn feature. So I looked into it. You can still download the InstantOn software (Uses Intervidio) here...

    (Note this will create a 200MB partition and probably delete all that's on your hard drive)

    You can buy an IR remote that looks quite a bit like the MSI one and fits in a PCMCIA slot here. You probably wouldn't need the USB IR device at all.

    Looks like it should work... thoughts?
