I have to say great job to the developers! I purchased my Recorder 20
yesterday and I loaded RockBox 1.2 within 2 hours of bringing it home. I
found this project through the ARCHOS web site.

I have downloaded the tools and studying the source. Hope to be up to
speed soon and making contributions. A long time ago I use to develop
firmware for the Intel 8048 & 8051.

My question is I seen some info on over charging the batteries. As best
as I can tell when I connect the unit to power and do not turn it on the
unit is charging with the built in 1.26 firmware? Is charging a function
of HW or SW? My unit did finally switch from charging to charged.

One last question I thought I read someone had to return their unit due
to a malfunction caused by RockBox firmware?

Thanks,
Bill

   Why not make an "advanced" sub section and put the more obscure
options
there? I think most people who are facing "option overload" know to
avoid
"advanced" options if they are not ready for them.
