my (small) site is : http://sophana.free.fr

I reopened up my archos 2 days ago because of a bad sector and did forget to
have a look.

The mod before I did was for the bass improvement.

I would be VERY surprised if the atmels programmable IO are not
bidirectionnal.
If you don want the pin to be driven just program it as an input.

I'm using an Atmel uC for the Panasonic CDC protocol.
During the next hours, there will be a site available with some more info,
that can be accessed via:

As I already told, I never made big mods to my JB (only changed the HDD).
As I remember, the contact of the buttons is done with some rubber contacts,
equal to those in TV remotes.
I could imagine it should not be as difficult to solder a thin (maybe very
thin) wire on the other side of the board (not the contact side).

So using the JB's uC, or your one in your HW ?
Unfortunately Atmel uC's don't have tristate outs....

PS: Sorry for not be able to help more, sounds interesting.
