yes. That is exactly what it is. Incredible value given it sees all codes.

I'll also be testing it on my Antec Veris Black 430 which has an LCD. It 
has ID:
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller

Can both of these now use either imon or mce rc-6?

I was concerned that the codes ended in different suffixes (000 vs 201) 
as I hadn't noticed the mask before. But it works.

I only note a few missing codes. I can make the mods to the lircd.conf 
and send it to you for inclusion if you wish. For reference, I am using 
a Harmony remote with RM200 codes programmed in.

Perfect, I will re-verify in pre2 as well and discuss picking up pre2 
with the LinHes team.
