No, I did not. I've been using it for about a week and for the first time I had a couple of freeze ups. I wouldn't guess it had to do with the ata.c sleep issue. Information provided on the A-Data card states "Fully compatible with PC Card ATA specification"
Maybe this negates the requirement for the patch ??

Sorry to be a pain about this but just want to make sure I get the right one!
Had another look round that site, and think that this :-
http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11861
is the one that I need to get, yes or no?
Also with the lower capacity cards does it matter which brand/make to use? Was thinking about getting a cheap inexpensive one first (typically compact flash is the one type of brand that I don't have lying around the house!) to make sure that it all works before getting a bigger capacity card.
Cheers.
PS Can someone confirm that there is no soldering involved in this project before I begin please? It'd be the one thing to put a stop on it!

No image on the site for that one, can't tell. If it is a 50pin male hdd connector, then
it should be correct.

Many of the smaller CF cards were not IDE compatible. I'd avoid anything smaller than 4gb, though some reported success with 512mb through 2gb cards.

Hard to say.. but I'm sure this one is right, and it's cheaper - and supposedly free shipping with no minimum order. I don't know how they do it but my roommate ordered from them before and they shipped free to Canada from I guess China:

Jeff:
I'm cross posting this in hopes of a LOT of assistance.
Just purchased and received this adapter: (as mentioned above)
http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11861
and this CF Card: (Transcend 32GB 133X)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820208389&Tpk=CF
Was able to format the card and load content onto it including .rockbox.
When booting the player I get the first two lines and then the following:
ATA error: -80
Any suggestions or assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. If I need to modify the ata.c code then i'll need MAJOR help as I don't even know what it is or where it is.
