CF Cards to replace microdrives?

(1/2) > >>

mgl888:
This may be a silly idea, but is it possible to use a CF card to replace the hard drive in certain players (such as the gigabeat)? are the pin configurations the same?
Flash memory can save a lot of battery... especially when you don't need all 40 gigs on your player

bluebrother:
It is possible in the Ipod mini (already tried that myself ;-) You need a slightly modified build though. Don't know about other players but the microdrive used in the mini has exactly the same pin configuration as CF cards. There is information about this in the wiki at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MiniCF

mgl888:
Thanks
Does anyone know if it's possible on larger 1.8' hard drives?

Someone seems to be working on CF cards in iPods:

If it works for 5Gs I'm SO there.
