Gary Partis came up with a clever workaround for those without
the old version 100MB ZIP drive and Argo driver..He intends to
use the IR port to send over other filesystem drivers (or whatever..)

Here's his (final) post on the subject ;)

For those using linux on a box with an IR port, the lirc project
could prove the answer to getting other drivers into the STB... 
I'm going to give http://www.lirc.org a look, time-permitting 
(unless someone can already say it's a no-goer in this respect?) 

The tech ref manual for the super-io controller in the STB, a 
FDC37C669, doesn't make clear what IR protocol is used.. 
hopefully it won't be a case of trial and error to find out..

Has anyone yet opened one of the Bush keyboards? 

Any identifiers within?
