ummm. I really dont think you would be stepping on any toes if you contacted
Archos to see if they might give you one to get the firmware working on it.
I would wait til after the holidays, but I bet if you talk to whoever
approved the shipping of Rockbox on the cd's you would have a decent chance
of working something out with them. It would be a writeoff for them and they
obviously seem somewhat interested in the work being done here.

It just seems like a pretty good business decision to me, but who knows?

Chris
