new ipods - rockbox port proposal
LambdaCalculus:
The hard drives used in the iPod video used ZIF (zero insertion force) connectors. Every generation before them used hard drives with a 50 pin connector.
Seems that Toshiba's new hard drives for the iPod classic are once again 50 pin connectors. But a single platter 80GB hard drive may be more useful for my girlfriend's iriver H320 than anything. :)

Are you saying it would be possible to fit a 160GB HD into a H140/H340? I've been waiting for something like the iPod classic to finally wave goodbye to the H140, but if it's possible to put a 160GB HD in it, then maybe I could hold on to it for just a little bit more:)

Does this count as progress?

EDIT: sorry, though those pics are posted on a different site, they are the same as those posted earlier in this thread.

No - it just means you can use 3rd party programs to sync your new ipod, instead of being forced to use iTunes.

I'm sure you should be able to fit one in, but I don't think you'll be able to use the whole amount of it. If I recall correctly, Rockbox will only see up to 137GB of the drive.
