Can Rockbox work on PhotoFast CR-7200 + 4 x microSD in iPod video?

(1/2) > >>

Randius:
I chanced upon this microSD-to-CF adapter from PhotoFast which can house 4 x microSD cards in raid-0 configuration. I am thinking of getting one to put in the iPod video but I am wondering if Rockbox can work with the adapter and if so, will it view the 4 x microSD as a single or multiple storage?

saratoga:
Assuming its a full blown CF device, and that its pin compatible with the Video,  it should work.

RAID0 means that the cards are combined into one large disk.

torne:
The iPod Video has a ZIF ATA disk interface, so if the adapter fits in a standard CF socket it won't fit in there.

The iPod Mini uses CF, it would work in that.

I will get a CF-to-ZIF adapter to fit the Photofast adapter into the iPod video but that sounds like quite a lot of connectors in there...

torne:
If that all physically fits inside and makes good secure contact, then it should work, but I'd be a bit dubious about it. Why do you want an iPod Video specifically anyway? Pretty much its only feature over the other iPods is being large enough to accommodate a decent capacity hard disk :)
