The device drivers for the CIR port are being written right now - once those
are done, you won't need assembler to drive the port. Since it's mapped onto
/dev/ttyS<something>, it's pretty likely that NQC will need nothing more than
a recompile to make it run and drive the CIR port.

I'm pretty sure the Agenda will get there first - it has hardware that should
work without problems - and since it runs Linux and you can compile programs
for it using gcc/g++, there is little reason why NQC shouldn't "just work".
