Sorry if this is the wrong place, but:

Just ordered 2 - seemed cheap enough to take a punt on. The reviews mention Rockbox as compatible, but opinions seem to differ as to the compatibility of various microSD(HC) and capacities.

EDIT: As others have already confirmed, these seem to be V1's - certainly I have RockBox going on one of them as we speak. It plays nicely with a 2Gb Sandisk MicroSD card (7.99 delivered from play.com). Any reports of larger capacities working would be useful.

Oops, good point, thanks.

I don't know if anyone can really guarantee that they won't be v2 models, which won't work with Rockbox.  And the word on the street is that SDHC cards up to 32GB will work with Rockbox, although at the moment you'll need to put files on the card using a reader/writer because the Sandisk firmware doesn't support SDHC and the Rockbox firmware doesn't currently have USB support.  Phew, long sentence.

I realise it's a risk but I have my hopes as:

1) The site in question claim it's part of a £2m bankrupt stock clearance - with any luck, and if it isn't just the usual sales pitch, a pointer to an older model

2) One of the reviews has claimed success with a purchase, so at least one of them was v1.

Fingers crossed

That really doesn't tell much. Many people have reported that sites have mixed the two as one product and so you could end up with either one.
