Hi Patrick,

I own a CommandIR (first version not "II"). I was the person who fixed 
the Lirc commandir driver when the transition to the new drivers 
structure was made.

I have the firmware updater script, but no firmwares. The script does 
not help very much, because all it is doing is  to download other files, 
which are, you guessed it, also not available. Sorry.

You may like to ask on the OpenRemote mailing list, since they 
recommended CommandIR heavily, many years ago...

If shopping for an alternative, consider 
http://www.harctoolbox.org/arduino_nano.html . Cheaper, smaller, 
entirely based on free/open software and hardware, fully suppored by 
Lirc (and IrScrutinizer). And the designer (= me :-)) is active. (On the 
downside, it does not have the four independent channels CommandIr has.)

Greetz,
