iRiver ihp120 failed CF install
AlexP:
The patch disables the ATA sleep command, as with flash storage that causes rockbox to crash. Â This is already done for the nano (flash storage). Â I would take from that it needs to be done on any flash storage target, and in this case that includes the H1x0.
However, I would be VERY careful about building your own H1x0/H3x0 bootloader as if the flash goes wrong you risk bricking it, which can only be repaired by connecting a low-level interface to the player.

Yes, logic suggest as much, someone much have a dissected ihp120 somewhere so I don't risk bricking my beloved ihp120, no?

My 2 cents:
The whole story is here: http://www.misticriver.net/showpost.php?p=576714&postcount=3
Summary:
My HDD was dying. Some songs still were playing, but HDD heads where hitting the plates, trying to release the HDD soul...
I bought the adapter HDD-CF from ebay.
Installed 8Gb A-DATA Compact Flash 120x
Rechecked results with 512Mb Ultra II from Sandisk
Results:
1. H120 can be connected to the PC ONLY using Rockbox bootloader. Once it is powered on, there is no connection. In the player there is a picture of "USB connected", PC does not see the drive.
2. Standard Iriver firmware does not work (it writes something like "check your hdd").
3. From time to time, pretty randomly, the player hangs up. Sometimes it happened when I am listening music, sometimes - while trying to switch tracks, sometimes - at the specific tracks.
4. ape files plays with interruptions and delays. (flac work fine).
Do you think that all these is a result of PIO mode?
Does it worth to compile and flash modified rockbox (given that I am not that experienced with this stuff)?
Thanks.
P.S. Copying process to the Ultra II is MUCH faster, especially for the small files, compared to the A-DATA.
UPD: Yes!!! It works (at least, the problem #1 is resolved). To make the story short, as it was mentioned before in this thread, you have to modify ata.c file. I left only return(0) in the function perform_soft_reset(void). Then, compiled source, created rockbox.zip and replace .rockbox folder in my player.
