You're a Star John, but I'm afraid your reward won't be in heaven!.
I'm surprised though that the difference between the 2 units wasn't
obvious, though I've had the benefit of seeing both. One thing that's
well worth doing with a v1 is, to bin the 1500MAH batteries and
install some 2.3MAH ones. It really does expend the battery life
significantly.

Subject: Turns out it was a V1 Recorder


The recorder V2 which my friend bought turns out to be a V1. Of course
I've
installed Rockbox on it for her. I had a worrying couple of hours when
it
wouldn't boot until I realised it was a V1 and installed the correct
version
of Rockbox. Thanks to the guys who wrote the Blind FAQ which helped me
identify the fact and work with the correct connections. I got a
fright when
I realised that I had been plugging the power into the line in jack
instead
of the DC jack - normally they're shaped differently so this is
impossible!
I'm glad to say it doesn't seem to have caused any harm.

That's three FM Recorders and one V1 Recorder I've installed Rockbox
onto in
the last couple of weeks for blind friends and myself. Is this some
kind of
record? (smile).

Regards

John
