I don't know how well calibrated the H100 battery estimation is, but the H300 one is way out anyway, so for my stock 1300mAh battery I get a more realistic estimation with Rockbox set to 2400mAh. If someone can confirm that the H100 calibration is accurate, then perhaps you could use this as a way to estimate your capacity (assuming you still need to know for a battery swapout etc.). i.e. Measure your true runtime from full, then try various settings in Rockbox until the full estimation is close. 2) Have a look at http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/HardDriveReplacement . You're looking for an 8mm drive with a 50 pin connector. I was lucky enough to find a (used) Toshiba MK8007GAH on eBay, so I now have an H380. IIRC there are at least 2 other Rockbox users (as well as me) running this combination with no problem. Also, it appears that Samsung have recently started producing new 50 pin drives - the HS122JC would give you 120GB, if this is indeed the case. Get one of those working and I'll be officially jealous ;-) -- pondlifeReceived on 2007-12-18 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
