TeraPod Build - the 32MB 5th gen board
Today I started a build from a 30GB 5th gen ipod with 32MB RAM. Started with the broken iPod, replaced broken LCD. Pulled the old 30GB HD. Replaced faceplate and middle frame with Gen7 aluminum set. Faceplate was scatched and beaten, so I sanded, primed and painted it.
Loaded the chip on my computer, formated to FAT32, loaded it into the ipod and restored in iTunes. Manually loaded BW RB. Pulled chip from iPod, put it back in my computer, and now I am loading 515 GB at once into a newly created music folder.
1GB loads in less than 40s. Chip is in the computer (not in iPod), is warm but very happy. Load says it will take 5hours.
Stay tuned.
