[mythtvnz] USB IR Blaster required

[Robin Gilks]

Does anyone have an MCE remote head they don't want any more? The one with
the sockets in the back for an IR blaster?

I'm after a USB IR blaster since the only serial port I have on my new
boxen is required to talk to the UPS and the serial dongles I have are not
reliable enough (tend to go a bit loopy  after a few days of continuously
polling the UPS). Not got enough PCI slots for my 4 port serial card :-(

Or does anyone know of an IR blaster design (perhaps using a micro) that
can be driven from a non-bit-banged serial port (like one connected to
USB).

Another alternative I suppose would be a reliable USB serial dongle for
the UPS that performs much better than the generic PL2303 one I have.
