I think there is.

Question. Where do you get a 330HT I was looking on newegg they have a 330 but it doesn't say HT or BD for that matter? Are they scarce to find them right now?

NCIX.com has them (Canada and USA). I'm actually waiting to hear if they fix this remote problem before I buy one.

This is offtopic rubbish tbh this is not where to buy your kit from. You rude inconsiderate ppl.

Has anyone tried the lirc_sir module?
According to an earlier post, the ASRock is equipped with the W83627HF chip.
Here http://www.almico.com/foruminfo.php?id=353
It is stated that the ir can be accessed via the uart:
'W83627HF provides two high-speed serial communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial Infrared communication.'
The documentation of that chip (http://www.isd.com/NR/rdonlyres/B066C916-0352-4684-AFD1-AD67C5541A3B/0/W83627HF_HGAW.pdf)
also states something like that.
So one would need to something like this (second serial port):
setserial /dev/ttyS1 none
modprobe lirc_dev
modprobe lirc_sir io=0x2f8 irq=3
I don't have an ASRock (yet) so I can't test it myself.
How did you get this datasheet, did you request it on Nuvoton website? The reason I ask is im after the Nuvoton NCT6775F datasheet as the ION330HT uses it and may also use it for IR.

I think this info is partially innacurate., the chip has already been identified and there are no drivers for it. Well cof cof....
There is the CIR uart able chip which is NCT6775 on revision A of HT models according to motherboard of course it is worth reminding people to the obvious the HT has already revision B which may be using another chip altogether could very well be the W83627HF but honestly I replacing the heatsinks for copper ones later on today and will have a look around with some pictures since I'm on Revision B of hardware. (it says it on box Model blabla-HT or HT-B)
Also worth mentioning that the drivers are in the works and on internal test. Source is Pegatron the manufacturer to who I have direct contact now I hope they ensuring ddrivers support bot revisions.

Good news overall!
But...
I don't see a HT-B on the box somewhere. Does this mean I have a revision A, and if so, will those new, soon to be out drivers, also work for me?

I am sure this is not a motherboard revision
HT is White
HT-B is Black,
The identifier just related to the colour of the case and remote.
- Abnormal1 - 2009-12-03
Well I have to admit I dont know anything about a different board revision, however what I do know is that on my 330HT motherboard there is a NCT6775 chip and that this chip has IR capability. In fact it even has IR Transmission capability of which we may be able to mod onto the board.
Also I now have the data sheet for the NCT6775 so if anyone wants it or knows of a good place for me to host it so I can link to it on here then just ask/tell.

Ok lets try make this clear... there are two LPC headers on this model one with the IR receiver and one free lpc header NCT6775F or like pointed here W83627HF I have to open box to improve thermal dissipation Ill find out what is what atm its a no go I'm waiting of pure copper replacement heatsinks which to spare the trouble I'm having custom made and fans shipped from frozencpu to UK.

Erm nope I could have made myself clearer the revision of the hardware is found on machine itself, because some are made in different places the info is either found internally or externally on the product itself since I cannot see after dozens of these boxes any one with any difference on labels, but I don't open them to find out either since I have had no request to upgrade hardware or modify any of these boxes.
Driver wise really if I have a particular revision and someone has another it may be that the respective chips were replaced by others or usually with a better version of the same.

I've just emailed asrock and nuvoton to see if a linux driver is on the way, il post any findings.

Hi There,
I'm considering getting an ASRock ION 330HT and came across this discussion. I'd like to see all features of this device work flawlessly under linux, too. To help you folks with this: Greg Kroah-Hartman (a prominent linux kernel developer amongst other things) announced in January 2007 a project to write Linux drivers for companies for free. You can contact the project at: http://www.linuxdriverproject.org
Please pass this on to your contacts at ASRock and Nuvoton, it should help them a lot. In addition, does anyone know what chipset the WiFi card has?
- X3lectric - 2009-12-04
Great maybe this guy can do things faster maybe b4 we all die as for the wifi chipset google I say, this is about IR sensors here. any number of basic commands in bash will do that sorry to be blunt but this is not linux 101
