New USB Stack
GodEater:
So just to clarify :
1) By "Ignore driver popups in windows" we do indeed mean click "Cancel". Once the USB stack is working properly you won't see these popups at all, since no driver will be required (other than the USB Mass storage one already present in windows).
2) In order to have your ipod show up as a drive in windows currently, that means you have to have it either in emergency disk mode, or in the original firmware. There are countless threads elsewhere detailing how to enter both those states on the ipod, so I won't repeat them here.

And for crystal clarity ;) :
This is the currently-working part of the new USB stack functionality (and a very welcome one for us Sansa users!)

I would just like to report that charging works great with my iPod 4G Color in Vista. I do get the popup message but I hit cancel. If you guys need testers for this I would like to volunteer but currently my Vista pc has died. If this is still going when I get a new power supply I can definitely volunteer my 4G.

Charging works beautifully on my iPod video. I hooked it to my Linux box at home and my PC here at work (Windows XP SP2). Both PCs detect it and allow charging to start.
Soon comes the day when we can say "au revoir" to the Apple firmware! :)
Spanky:
One weird thing. My main computer died so now I am using my spare Windows 2000 Professional machine. When I plug the iPod in while rockbox is running, the "found new device: rockbox player" comes up on my computer but rockbox shows the usb plug image and restarts the iPod in disk mode meanwhile my computer is trying to install the software still. I just find it weird that rockbox restarts the iPod on Windows 2000 and not Vista, unless something changed in the build in the last week that caused this.
