This is _very_ interesting finding. I wasn't expecting that the Ondio is derived from our recorder hardware. Your experiment shows that the hardware must be very similar, including the LCD connection. Are there any pictures of a dissected Ondio available anywhere? So very likely we could port Rockbox to it, for the sporty folks who have trouble with a disk player. Although it's a bit overpowered for a device that can hold only 2 albums. The good part is that the NAND flashes are all alike, since they have a 8-bit parallel interface instead of a data and address bus. So the internal memory could perhaps be upgraded . Rockbox will have to at least learn some new tricks like: - NAND flash driver (very likely to be used, if no CF card inside) - FAT16 (we're likely to find that being used) - MMC driver (for the expansion, can be done later) Now where do I get an Ondio?
