If I remember correctly the frequency scaling issue never affected the Mini 2G -- that uses the PP5022 in contrast to the PP5020 in the Mini 1G (and the Ipod 4G, which was also affected by this issue).

Thanks for the info about Freq Scaling. I wasn't aware it was fixed. I'll undisable it. ;)

Well I've tried this flash card in a 1g mini and it works (with ipod OF)

I gave this iPod to my wife, I order another CF card to put in my 2g mini. That one will get rockboxed, but I'll have to build the firmware with the patch. Would it be possible to modify the configure script to create two new targets, ipod flash 1g mini and ipod flash 2g mini? If so, maybe that could make it into SVN someday. I'll try this myself, but I'm not sure sure where to start hacking autoconfigure scripts. (make I know).

Yes it is possible to do, but I think it is highly unlikely that it will ever get anywhere near SVN. It is an incredible small target audience, and we didn't do this for e.g. the RTC modded H1x0 players.
Ayway, we do you need to? If you are already building your own builds, just make the change once and forget about it. When you SVN up (unless the file changes hugely), it will automatically merge the changes.

The RTC mod for the h120 is in SVN - it's an extra option in the configure script.
Personally, I would have no objections to a similar patch for CompactFlash support for the ipod mini being committed, or even going one step further and using run-time detection to see if the ipod has a CompactFlash card or not, and react appropriately.
