Quick question - I hooked it up to a LOD direct to a cheap amplifier to see if there would be any weird noises or what not.

Without the caps between the two - if I did the wiring correct, would there/should there have been odd noises?

Check input traces inside your amplifier if it has caps in series with signal. If it does, you don't need to add caps at the output of the source. But you might have to check input of every other device before connecting an iPod.

BAH! So I just installed the 240gb hard drive in my iPod 5.5G, old 80gb got busted. Well, RockBox doesn't support the sector size so I'm now modifying and recompiling it to support 4096 byte sectors instead of the original 1024. Damn Cygwin needs a lot of crap installed just to update a few lines of code.

Yes! Finally, I was able to recompile Rockbox 3.3 and the bootloader to support 4096 byte sectors and the 240gb Rockbox iPod is done!

I'd hate for others to have to go through that process themselves just to use Rockbox on their 240gb drives, so here are the files and installation instructions.

Here are the new files, hosted on RapidShare
Bootloader 3.3
RockBox 3.3

You will also need the iPod Patcher, download the correct one (Win32, Mac OS X or Linux)

Installation of the new firmware and software is VERY simple.
1) Connect iPod, get it recognized. You may need to put it into disk mode first.
2) Download all the 3 file above and put them all into 1 folder.
3) Install bootloader using with commandline "ipodpatcher.exe -a bootloader-ipodvideo.ipod" (Win32 instructions, look at "iPod Patcher" link for Linux - you should be smart enough to know what to do if you're using Linux; for the Mac users, drop to a shell and do the same as the Linux people)
4) Unzip rockbox.zip to your iPod root folder

All done.

That's pretty crazy, Fallen. Thanks for sharing those instructions. I was thinking of doing that with my girlfriend's diyMod 5.5G (yes, that's right

), but I don't think she'll ever have 240GB of music. She still hasn't filled up her 60GB drive, so I'll put off my purchase of that drive for now.

How does it work with the Apple firmware?

It apears so....

Although it does say that it's not optimised... and only for 4G and later
