Is exhausting the 9V of the IR tower transceiver a Windows only problem?
When my `uname -a` reports: Linux Knoppix 2.4.19-xfs ... then the green LED
light stays off til some software speaks IR.
But in Win XP, the green LED light stays ON until some software loads that
could speak IR but then doesn't for about five seconds in a row.
I'm guessing, while the green LED light is on, the 9V drains?
Anybody know why/how Win XP keeps the green LED light on? Anyone know of
anything I can do to persuade Windows to leave the green LED light off?
Cluelessly, thankfully yours. Pat LaVarre
