Ricevitore infrarosso PVCA-IR5U

Un altro regalo che mi e' arrivato e' il ricevitore ad infrarosso PVCA-IR5U che in origine era legato all'acquisto di un desktop Sony Vaio con il suo telecomando RM-GP5U

Le informazioni su Internet sono piuttosto scarse ma connesso a Windows XP la periferica si installa senza necessita' di driver

stranamente nel log sembra che la periferica sia vista come una Human Interface e nel dettaglio come una tastiera. Non e' comunque compatibile con Windows Media Center
