Identify a series 2 from its model number or picture?
« on: February 01, 2009, 07:03:50 PM »
I'm considering buying a Sansa in order to experiment with Rockbox, especially because it may be expandable via SD cards or a replacement drive.

However, I'm finding it hard to identify which devices are version 2, and hence won't work with Rockbox.

How can I identify a Rockbox-compatible device, for example looking at ebay listings...

http://electronics.shop.ebay.co.uk/items/MP3-Players__sansa_W0QQ_catrefZ1QQ_flnZ1QQ_sacatZ73839QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em282?_trksid=p3286.c0.m282

...or clearance houses...
