While waiting for delivery I studied the Rockbox web site carefully and was excited about installing the software. Well, the Archos came yesterday. However, to keep things simple I wanted to go with the most stable available version, so I downloaded rockbox-2.0.-recorder.zip. I unzipped and installed it with no problem (onto the root), but the Recorder would not load it on bootup. No error messages or anything, but it kept loading the Archos firmware only (v1.40a). Is there a known issue of compatibility with V2 and the older version 2.0 of rockbox? The V2 looks a little different than the Recorder 20 I saw on the Archos website. For example the buttons seem smaller and the rubber bumpers are secured with torx screws. So, then I went onto the daily builds page and observed that there is a recorder and a recorderv2 version of each daily build. So, for kicks I downloaded the V2 version and installed it. This was partially successful in that the Archos loaded the Rockbox software, but after bootup it froze on me with the USB connector icon showing in the display. I properly disconnected the USB from my WinXP machine after installing the V2 build, so I don't know why I'm getting this, but the unit is frozen and none of the keys has any effect. To get out of this I had to reconnect the USB cable and delete the .ajz file from the root directory, after which the normal Archos firmware loaded on reboot. So, I guess I've got a couple of questions. One, am I correct that version 2.0 of rockbox is not compatible with the Archos Recorder 20 V2? If that is the case, what would you recommend as the most stable release of Rockbox that is compatible with V2 - as I said, I think I've got a problem with the 11/25/03 release because of the USB connection hang up. Sorry if this repeats an issue, but I've been through the archives and FAQ and can't find anything addressing this. Andy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
