CompactFlash based iPod mini
dbpaddler:
actually, instead of clicking on dankoozy's link I did a save as and it worked. So I just did a switch of the 16gb card from my microphoto to the mini and am trying it now.
GodEater:
Good luck!

thanks.... I now have 16gigs of flash based rockboxed Mini goodness ;D Which is probably the only way I can stomach owning an ipod. Now I just need my replacement LCD to come in so I can have a backlight.

Let's revisit this topic!
Having loved my 4GB iPod 1st Gen only AFTER Rockbox arrived, I've now exhausted the 4GB capacity.
Next hack? Upgrade the 4GB microdrive to an 8GB compact flash! (and replace the 400mAh battery with a new 850mAh one). I followed instructions here: http://www.entrenched.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1393
IT WORKED! The Apple firmware recognized 7.6GB free space (FAT32), and works flawlessly.
BUT WAIT! After patching Rockbox back in (v1.1 firmware), and loading the latest build (r14691-070914), I get the same file system hangs as described above.
Has anyone compiled a firmware for the iPod mini 1st Gen that disables the ATA spindown/timeout/whatever? If so, could you please post it here?
If not, I'll have to CAREFULLY read what was done for the 2nd Gen above, and see if I can follow it. If I get a successful firmware for 1st Gen iPod mini with compact flash upgrades, I'll post it here.
Thanks!!
