Normally I’d asume not, and this is probably a really technically dumb thing to ask but can it?
The reason I suspect it might be able to is that while I was browsing the bios settings I noticed that the com ports can be switched to “IR” mode, which I assumed stands for Infra-Red.
So did I just ask a stupid question?
I am by NO means a computer expert (in fact from previous posts I believe you are more knowledgeable than I am on the subject), but you can set the COM ports on newer motherboards to use IR. You will need to attach an IrDA transceiver to said port before you can use it, though. Here’s one that I got on a quick Google.
Once again, I’ve never used this…I’m sure someone who knows more about it will be along shortly!
