It would really help if this conversion was available without using a custom build and would facilitate further development that would enhance player converted to flash drives.
Thoughts?

Well, what would need to be changed in Rockbox to support flash drives/cards?

We clearly support flash drives just fine - look at the Nana, E200, C200, the flash Archos players that I have forgotten the name of.
According to a IRC discussion (IIRC), flash drives should be capable of sleeping just fine, the problem may well be that when we wake it up it is in a different PIO mode than the one we try to access it with, causing it to hang. It is just all our other targets don't care.
I don't think a flash drive cfg option is the way to go, but fixing waking uo in the correct mode is the proper fix, that way it shouldn't matter what type of drive a player has.
Of course, someone with more knowledge correct me if I am wrong.

ok I see,
ya I was just thinking of the models that don't have flash drives and are being converted to flash(gigabeat F) It's just really cool to see it happening.

(Holy Cow Batman!) The price on the 16GB CF has dropped (again) to $80!

These things keep getting cheaper!!!!!
Bring on those flash conversions!!!!
This card works VERY FB in iPod Mini's
Also the 32GB card is now in stock and the price has dropped to $200

(if it drops in price by another $50 I'm going to get one and upgrade my iPod mini or see if it works any better in my gigabeat F10 conversion (F32?))

Quit tempting me, scharkalvin! :P
Although the very thought of just getting a cheap mini off eBay and popping a 32GB CF card into it is indeed tempting... ;D
