--- Quote ---Later today, I'm going to try to make another call, the adapter I'm getting was from ebay, but its the wrong kind, it was 1.8" to 3.5" IDE (~$5 USD), where as now after I opened up the zen, it is a ZIF connection, those adapters (ZIF to 2.5" IDE) appear to be ~$40 USD

So...if you do have an IDE connecting hard drive, I could mail you my converter for a reasonable price.

We haven't heard from him yet, but I suppose he doesn't have an adapter he can actually use..

sorry, thought I stated above, but, I have a zif hard drive, and the connector I got is for IDE, when I have time, I'll try soldering a cable to an ide connector to read the hard drive,
as for contacting Creative, that site I was using for free out-of-country calls limits calls to only 2 or 3 minutes, not even enough time to get forwarded twice

How similiar is the firmware of the Zen Vision: M to the NJB3 series - looking at the recovery mode menu of both (Zen Xtra (MTP) and Vision:M) are the same.  I suspect that the vision m uses a more updated/configurable firmware. More infoe about the NJB3 series is can be found on the wiki http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CreativeZenTouch (Click on the NJB3 firmware)

Very similiar, its almost the same; except for the fact that there aren't any dictionaries in ZVM and the font files are TTF instead of NFT.
Both firmwares have a CINF header, an encoded part (CENC named in the NJB3, ©TL named in the ZVM), the same firmware structure, ...

wesmo:
Doesn't that mean njb3 devices would be able to use a derivative of the zen vision m rockbox fw? I'm interested in contacting anyone interested in working on a port to the njb3 - working on both ports at the same time should be easier. I've put more up on the zen touch wiki page related to the ti tms320.
