[linux-dvb] [linux-dvb]running vdr in a ram-disk Part II

[Peter Seyringer <dvrproject@seyringer.priv.at>]

Hello!

I have a better idea. We could use a Compact Flash card with 128 or 256MB
Ram. There are not expensiv anymore and have a normal ATA interface. After i
have finish the powersave project i will go on to create a Compact Flash IDE
Emulator.
