How does that work? So you reboot into OF, then plug it into computer thru USB, then what? I want to copy my FALC's to the mSATA drive. Hint please .... :)

You reboot into the OF, then plug it in, then it appears as a drive exactly as it always does. What do you mean, "then what"?

Then I installed the Rockbox using the Utility, and followed immediately by replacing the rockbox folder with the test build. Booted to RB, then it hung while trying to play a flac file. Forced a reboot and everything went down hill from there with all kinds problems (kept rebooting, asking for restore, saying low battery and please wait, etc..). So I gave it up and restored it to the apple OF. Well, at least I have a working 250GB mSATA ipod running on the OF.

The device I have also frequently complains about low battery; possibly the adapter draws too much power during boot. That happens anyway even without Rockbox at all :)
Once it crashes somewhere while potentially doing disk access then you need to check the filesystem, since there's always an opportunity for it to have been destroyed there, which can cause any number of problems later. Did you actually try the regular unmodified build at all to see if it actually has the same problem as the device I have? :)

No I didn't attempt to boot into the regular unmodified build as it's been confirmed not working by a few head-fi'ers. After this try, I intend to believe there are some serious issues with the adapter/mSATA.
Thanks for all your efforts , but I give up on this. :(

I tried the test build provided in this thread. As predicted by torne, I encountered no problems or any differences in performance of my unmodified iPod Video 80GB.
I copied several files to the player, browsed through files, played some mp3s and played some games while listening to music, but I noticed no problems or differences compared to the Rockbox 3.13 I am currently running on my iPod. On my laptop which is running Windows XP, USB connection seemed to establish a little slower and less "accurate" using the test build though.

I tried the test build in this thread on my iPod with a 240GB msata. Rockbox loads but will not initialize the database, it gets stuck on "Building database... 0 found(PREV to return).When I try to play a music file it gets stuck on "loading". Eventually I got "Error accessing playlist control file (-4).
I cannot get the patch, when I click on the link I get "ERROR: Possible problem with your *.gwt.xml module file.....
USB does not work
