Not quite accurate, and actually FUD and rumours. I have had nothing but Linux here (for the past 13 years, that is :-) , and my 10 GB recorder w/ 40 GB disk works just fine with it. No special driver required. The isd200 driver has been in usbserial for ages, at least for the 4 or so years or so I had Archos players w/ SUSE Linux. If you can get a cheap 10gb recorder used and a larger disk, and if USB11 isn't a problem for you, GET IT! Hey, how often do you actually load stuff onto it? I mean I rsync my server archive to it from time to time and if it take 5 minutes or 20 minutes, who the hell cares??? Again: There ain't no such thing as a special Linux driver for Archos players or recorders with USB 1.1 (ISD200 chip). Not in 2006. In any case I may be upgrading mine with a 80 GB disk soon because my server archive has grown > 40 GB... -- A Los Angeles judge ruled that "a citizen may snore with immunity in his own home, even though he may be in possession of unusual and exceptional ability in that particular field."Received on 2006-02-19 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
