e280R What device? Version?

[Braverman]

Am installing, from scratch:
I have a "new/old" e280R, that can't be found via Rockbox - can't find a device - and wants me to chose - it's been a long time ...
This is a e200v2?

The e200r is always a v1, but you must first convert it to a non-R using the steps on the wiki. You cannot use rockbox utility.

SOL, I'm afraid. 2 x64 computers, and no matter how I alter the ability to ignore/accept unsigned certs in group policy - won't take it.
Never run into this.
My HTPC is a x86/32bit Win7 will that work?
What's the best/easiest way? Any ideas?

I'd try using a Linux VM (or real machine, if you have one)

My language machine is packed away.
Pain the da' butt to pull to out.
I guess it's on the pile, I'm going to try the 32bit 7 and see.
I tried to run a laptop (20+years old) that has XP on it, but it won't see it's USB ports - BUMMER.

OK, patched it/unlocked it/patched it. Idiotically simple actually.
When it states return to step 2, does one just shutdown/reboot, or ...?
Also is the unit supposed to NOW be seen by the Rockbox GUI? As this is not the case it still can not find mount point.

I have to then copy a new firmware,  extract the OF from this: rhapsody-1.0.2.31.zip and update it? Then continue?
The wiki - to me - is a bit foggy.
