Date: 24 Jan 2003 15:26:32 +0000 I no longer think it's a good idea to mod the archos for usb charging since it is locked in USB mode when the plug is connected, but a simple Schotky diode to power the device from USB might a good idea. USB voltage is 5V, less the diode dropout at 300mA we have around 4.8V which is around the nominal voltage for 4 NI-MH batteries - not all current would come from USB but some some battery power would be saved... It might enable us to go to a friend's house for a few hours MP3 up/download without running out of batteries.
