Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2004 17:07:34 +0100 For info, I will be ordering this little adapter from http://www.cfide.co.uk/compact_flash_ide_adapter_cfide_mob.shtml next week, in view of giving it a try. I'll let you know what the outcome is.. This looks like a way to eliminate the disc noise I'm getting on recordings... Incidentally, am I the only one who is experiencing this, as I've not noticed any replies that confirm the problem?? :-( Until next time... Thanks for all the hard work being put into Rockbox!
