--- Quote from: LambdaCalculus379 on September 17, 2007, 10:58:17 AM ---According to the wiki page BigBambi pointed out earlier, I know that Rockbox doesn't use LBA48 addressing. But the problem is that the wiki page hasn't been updated in quite a while... nine months, to be exact. Plus, most of that info is for the Archos devices, but I'm sure things like partitioning information would carry to all devices.

Rockbox most definitely does use LBA48 addressing when compiled to do so. This support has been in Rockbox since January of this year.
LambdaCalculus:
Should've mentioned it being used only when a build is compiled to do so.
But do all builds have to be compiled to use LBA48 addressing, or is this just for the Archos devices (considering what Llorean pointed out earlier)?
GodEater:
Any build *could* use it - it's just that Archoses were the only DAPs that needed it because they were the only one huge disks could fit in. The 1.8" 160GB drive in the new iPods has changed all that though.
LambdaCalculus:
The Floating Head of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs understands and brings forth Slack in exchange for that information. Â ;)
Rockbox - now with 50 percent more Slack!

Ok, so for those with no technical knowledge on anything that was said above, so therefore doesn't understand what conclusion has been come to:
Is it possible to have a full 160GB hd on the H100/H300/iPod 5.5 or even iPod Classic, with rockbox?
