That being said, everything may change without prior notification and you may find out that a device that looks perfect will not work. That just happened to me with an external drive enclosure. On the other hand, my 5th generation 60g ipod video works very well. I moved it over to using Rockbox because I got tired of the endless syncing (feeling) using iTunes, Banshee, Amarok, GTKpod, whatever. Now I just rsync music to it and it looks like an external drive. I don't remember the 2.4 kernel too well but I don't think USB worked at the level it does now. Just like I somehow have forgotten what a modem is and dialing strings, Hayes command sets, and dropped calls. Now I just deal with wireless ESSIDs, encryption, card drivers. Did I say things got better? Or just different... -- Michael Perry | do or do not. There is no try. -Master Yoda mperry@lnxpowered.org | http://www.lnxpowered.org
