Played ok for one day but I just re-disassembled it to put it back in. Kind had me wondering why there are *four* touchpads under the 3 buttons of a recorder screen. (the how-to-take-apart-an-archos texts could maybe stress that you DO NOT HAVE TO take off the front plate just to do a disk upgrade, because if you do, those buttons are going to fly all over the place..) oh, sweet sweet joy of 60Gb Fujitsu drive madness.. BTW, it doesn't seem to matter if you format the disk without LBA. Is that right? I used NetBSD newfs_msdos to make a FAT 32, it seems to work ok thus far but I'm only consuming 23Gb so far. It ate about 2GB in overhead formatting 60Gb down to a useable 58Gb partition. Also, I didn't use a PC to set any of the on-disk options. Am I right in thinking Rockbox sets them into the 'rockbox optimal' form anyway? cheers, and thanks for the doccos to help with the upgrade! -george _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-12-08 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
