Re: 32/64 RAM - Thanks for noticing this! It'll be important when my Tarkan adaptors arrive; I've got a choice of motherboards to test with.
Re: juwel1998 - Yes, click wheels are interchangeable between 5G and 5.5G. Often click wheel issues are actually motherboard issues, though (that's the case on one of mine, at least - swapping the click wheel doesn't fix the problem).
Re: ThinWalls - Thanks for confirming that it's Type II. That means I'll buy my own Type-I adaptors here in Taiwan instead. I successfully formatted an iPod with a 256GB Transcend card inside a Type I SD to CF, then CF-IDE adaptor in my iPod Photo.
The adaptor I used is the

I didn't have time to try syncing tracks, but iTunes and the iPod were both happy with it having 241GB formatted capacity. That's certainly more than 128GB.
I'm also hoping to test a dual microSD to CF type I adaptor, which might offer even greater capacities. I've bought the adaptor, but I need to get permission to visit the factory downstairs again to borrow some big microSD cards. Unfortunately we're not manufacturing any 512GB cards as far as I'm aware, so I've got to find a friendly store to let me test that. Maybe I'll head to Taipei this weekend, and drop into the electronics market there. I also want to find a store where I can borrow the new SanDisk 200GB microSD card for testing.
I have a feeling like there's a difference in SD-CF adaptor compatibility for 4/4.5G iPods with CF-IDE adaptors, and 5/5.5G iPods with Tarkan adaptors. I already have a similar adaptor to Tarkan's for my 5G, but it isn't working with the adaptor above. I'll buy one of the "6G" SD-CF adaptors and test with that next!
