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!

Abdul

Disk On Chip (DOC) is NOT an IDE device such that will conform to ATA
specifications.
It hooks interrupt 13 and interfaces that way.

But I see no reason at all that you could not put a CF card in the jukebox
- on the DVD players I worked on it was literally that - an adaptor that
plugged the CF as the second device on a standard IDE cable ...#define
SUPPORT_TWO_DRIVES and you're away :)
