The Reason...

The PPC-6700 Has a Standalone IR Decoder chip.. the Mogul has the IR Port tied directly to the Main processor. This is not a drawback, it is simply a way of reducing parts/space in the mogul. In order for Novii Remote to use the Mogul's IR port, it will need to be programmed for the Qualcomm's specific initialization routine.

There are two ways to usa an IR port.

1. Use windows DLL's
2. Create a low level driver (Or obtain the IR Driver and interface it)

If you use the windows DLL it will be limited to "International Standards" for data transfer and things that we are all familiar with.

If you create a low level driver you can directly read and output anything that the IR "sees". This is what Novii Remote has dome with other PPC's. It's just not up to date for the Mogul.
