[vdr] Re: Necessary hardware to build a VDR

[<peacemkr@gmx.de>]

If you want to use the nvram-wakeup to let the system record things when its
turned off you need an actuall Bios but a special MB I cant tell you.
Most of the MBs work. Im running VDR on an old AMK K6-2 with 400Mhz and the
Machine is working.
I bought the MB on EBay for around 50?.
