Acpi Nsc6001
Unlike standard serial IR (SIR) which is limited to 115.2 kbps, Fast Infrared (FIR) allows for data transfer rates up to Secure, Point-to-Point Connectivity:
If you need to install the driver manually via the .inf script file, verify your target platform parameters against the original release metrics: Specification Details ACPI\NSC6001 or ACPI\VEN_NSC&DEV_6001 Device Class Infrared Data Association (IrDA) Devices Primary Chip Vendor National Semiconductor Standard Driver Version 6.0.6001.18000 Original File Size ~35 KB to 38 KB Supported Deployments Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10

For hobbyists and engineers building a vintage-inspired system (like a modern 486- or Pentium-class system on a new board), the Coreboot source code contains explicit drivers for nsc_pc87360 -series super I/O chips, of which the NSC6001 logic is a part. Writing a Coreboot payload that initializes an NSC6001 means writing a small piece of code that sets up those legacy memory windows and IRQ routes before the OS even boots. When Linux boots and sees the ACPI0004 (NSC6001) device, its pc87360 driver matches, reads the pre-initialized state, and simply continues the handshake. Unlike standard serial IR (SIR) which is limited to 115
Support for the NSC6001 varied significantly across operating systems. Here's how different platforms handled the device.
Would you like help locating a driver for a particular vintage board (e.g., Advantech PCM-5820, IEI Rocky-3702EV)? Method 3: Disable the Infrared Port in BIOS/UEFI

If this appears as an "Unknown Device" in your Device Manager, you typically need to install the IrDA Fast Infrared Port Driver
If you are auditing your Windows Device Manager or scanning system logs and stumble upon an unknown device listed as (or simply NSC6001 ), you are not alone. Missing Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) drivers are among the most common causes of the dreaded yellow exclamation mark in Windows.
