Who did the Sansa E CF mod?
« on: February 16, 2010, 03:51:07 PM »
I was just told on another forum that someone here at Rockbox did it (with a custom backplate?). I wonder how - via the main memory connector or the card pins? The connector looks weird, I don't even know the name to look for an adapter.

Do you veterans remember who that was and how this was done?
Or maybe how it could be done?

You can't put a CF card in an e200v1.  The interface is not ATA and it is not possible to make an adapter for it.

I have seen a Sansa with an flat ribbon cable adapter to take a full size SD card, so a 32 Gb card could be used, but never with a CF card.

Have you got a link?  It sounds like it might just be an adapter plugging in to the micro-SD reader and allowing access to a full size card.  The CF mod usually refers to replacement of internal memory by a CF card, which would be totally different than simply using an adapter to allow access for a full size card to the existing micro-SD slot.
