Probably a very stupid question, but i am not well versed in CF cards. Is 4gb the largest capacity card you can get that will fit into the iRiver? Or is 4gb the max on any card?
again, your showing your cluelessness.
It is not possible to take the CF Card out without taking the entire device apart out, is it.
All Compact Flash cards are the same physical size, just the capacity it bigger.
Type I and Type IIThe only difference between the two types is that the Type II devices are 5 mm thick while Type I devices are 3.3 mm thick.[8] The vast majority of all Type II devices are Microdrives and other miniature hard drives. Flash based Type II devices are rare but a few examples do exist.[9][10] Even the largest capacity cards commonly available are Type I cards and most card readers will read both formats with the exception of some early CF based cameras where the slot is too small and some of the poorer quality USB card readers with the same problem.
although I haven't tried, there should be plenty of room in the h1x0/h3x0 to fit a CF-II card. But the only CF-II cards I ever saw were microdrives or non-storage.The adapter may need to be modded to handle the thicker cards though...
i just took apart my hp120 to see if i could figure out why my HD was making noise...and i found a battery that was all swollen and puffy. took it out, replaced it with the factory original, and now it works fine. ordered the CF mod parts for about $20 total, so i'll swap out the HD regardless, just to loose the moving parts.
It would be pretty interesting to collect all the data regarding the necessary stuff you need to mod your Iriver into CF (step by step mod, hardware needed, references, vendors, prices, etc...) and then stick this topic, would not it?

I'm really dying in wishes to jump over a dead HD iriver so I can perform the mod myself...
