Who did the Sansa E CF mod?

(1/1)

Zeltzer:
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?

saratoga:
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.

choke:
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.

Chronon:
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.
