iPod 2nd Gen w/ custom hard drive (80GB)
« on: September 02, 2009, 10:45:12 PM »
I'm planning to switch out a dead 20GB hard drive in a 2nd gen Classic for an 80GB one. This is probably a noob question but, will RB still install and run on the modded iPod?

It should as far as I know, but please be clear on terms - the 2nd gen is not a Classic, the Classic is the 6th gen.  You just have a 2nd gen ipod.

I've modified the title of the thread to reflect this - I very nearly just locked it saying that Rockbox doesn't run on the Classic.

can you even get 80GB drives in the 50pin connector the gen2 uses?

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

Yes, there was a Toshiba one, the MK8007GAH.

Yah I know it's just a 2nd generation iPod; just thought I'd be "clear" because eBay and every other reference is calling it a 2nd gen classic.

Thanks :)
