It's not computer OS specific. The firmware is a file you place on the player and update via the player. -Pony

I've contacted some eBay sellers and asked them to check the version. Individuals have done it, but the big sellers didn't respond. -Pony

Like TheBigCW, I purchased a refurbished Fuze from Tiger Direct and it is a V1 (version 1) for which RockBox works. The Fuze looks like new with 'REFURB' etched on the back. I highly recommend the player. -Pony

Received mine. It's a V1!!!!!! It came in a white box. It looks perfectly new. It has 'REFURB' etched on the back. -Pony

Buy from a well rated Amazon reseller Amazon. You will get protection via Amazon.

I bought one from Tiger Direct. It should be waiting for me when I get home tomorrow. I'm hoping it's a V1 (first gen) so it can be RockBoxed. I already have a V1, just looking to have a backup. -Pony

Refurbished 2GB Fuze @ Woot for $22.99 + $5 shipping. -Pony

Amazon resellers

Klipsch S4s or RE0. -Pony

TF10s from an an Amazon reseller; and you still have $$ to get them made into customs. -Pony

I've had the UM1s and UM2s, not the W1s or W2s. The UM2s are a great pair of earphones, and if the W2s are anything like them, I would highly recommend them. -Pony

You may want to check out the UM3X if your are looking for something similar but less fun than the W3s.
