It may be difficult to figure out the exact minimum requirements,
as they depend on so many factors.
But compiling a list of configurations and their behaviour would
definitely be useful.

I would like to contribute the following entries:

1.  Siemens Celsius 1 System, Siemens D931 main board, 
    PentiumPro 150 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM. 
    Maxtor 60GB UDMA/66 disk.
    Main board does not support UDMA.
    Very frequent glitches, some of them big.

2.  Siemens Celsius 1 System, Siemens D931 main board, 
    PentiumPro 150 MHz CPU, 64 MB RAM.
    Maxtor 60GB UDMA/66 disk.
    Additional UDMA/66 PCI IDE contrller (Promise FastTrack/66).
    Manually set UDMA/66 using hdparm.
    Few small glitches (every other minute or less).

If Ralph has the time, maybe it would be useful to investigate
the problem on a weak system...

Thanks for the feedback.
I was hoping my new vdr LIRC code would work well for
everybody now. The old code worked well here, but a
few people had problems that I could not reproduce.



Cheers,

Carsten.
