Successfully upgraded my Gigabeat X60 to 100GB!

[Christine Tham]

I recently purchased a Toshiba MK1011GAH 100GB ZIF drive and managed to open my X60 (with help from Christian Hack) and replaced the hard drive successfully.

Rockbox boots, and happily tells me I have 100GB.

If anyone is interested in the details, I can post some instructions on a wiki page. I didn't take any pictures though, so the tutorial will be text only.

Congratulations Christine! And good to hear that Christian "Shonky" Hack is still alive

Markun, if you are still interested in buying an X60, there's one available right now on ebay.

Must not be on the US ebay, but I did see an F60 up for sale.
I've NEVER seen one before, they are as rare as hen's teeth!

With the progress the Gigabeat "the beast" S port is making I would rather buy an S60 now that an X60 I think
