Welcome to head-fi, RMod. Sorry about your wallet.
That sounds really interesting. I think everyone will be waiting eagerly to see how you fit the Black Gates into the iPod. Super E you say? Does that mean you're using 4 caps total? At any rate, thanks for sharing. Glad we could be of help.

thanks for the links jon. I just thought that this would be convenient to ofer. Going by the pictures, it just looks like the 4th pin is not used on the mini jack. Am I correct?
You are correct, sir! You can use those jacks by just omitting the 4th pin, no big deal.
Fallen:
I was trying to open up the Touch yesterday morning, but my tools weren't making it any easier for me. I have to pick up some spare parts for some iPods, so I'll have to wait until then to get real results. I've studied that iFixit opening guide except that it doesn't help me get over that first hump of opening the darn thing! I got it going a little bit at first, but my pry tools crapped out so badly that I don't think I'm going to use it anymore. There was also this lot that opened the Touch, and they're a bit more helpful, though not by much. There's also an actual video of a guy disassembling his iPod touch, but his method is pretty ridiculous; I couldn't reproduce it with my tools in their current state. Alas, it may be a couple weeks before I really get anywhere with the Touch.
Don't worry so much though, I'm working on it.

No advances on the Touch yet. New iPod opening tools are in the mail.
What I did want to alert the crew to is this neat little board I found on the web. I don't know how long it's been around and how many of you already know about it, but I figure it'd be good even for experts for easy access to the iPod pins without too much trouble. I present,
Sadly, it doesn't seem like this board is in stock. I emailed the folks at Kineteka Systems - Home, so we'll see how things play out. These kinds of boards aren't new to us, even Ridax has one.
It's perfect for the iPod user, newbie or not. It is a bit of a pricey item, so keep that in mind before you stock up on a couple thousand. It might be worth using in some sort of ultimate docking station for a secure connection every time. To save on shipping, it might be easier getting the Ridax one, but consider the PodGizmo one on your future iPod mods, if it ever becomes available. I won't be adding it to the OP until/if they get back to me on its availability. Seems I'm behind the times by about two years.
Cheerio.
