Media Center Remote

[GeekMan]

Greetings all,

 

I got my hands on an HP A6077C on the cheap that I intend to make into a Hackintosh. I've discovered that it comes with an IR sensor and a remote. Has anyone experimented with getting these media center remotes to work like an Apple Remote? Or, has anyone managed to get a PC IR sensor to accept input from an Apple Remote?

 

Probably a long shot, but any information is appreciated.

 

Cheers.

. . see 'Remote Buddy" here . . there is a competing product called 'Mira' (I foolishly bought it) but this is not AFAIK being actively developed or supported for Leopard - ie it doesn't work reliably or (in my case) at all.
