Fantastic job with the adapter, fixed my 5G Video (glitchy, almost broken HDD) with no problem.

I used the Kingston Ultimate 266X 32gig card (from Amazon) with no issues at all. Videos and games run much smoother. Everything loads faster.

Rockbox 3.10 works great, and is faster than ever. Haven’t had any errors thus far. Boots between Rockbox and the iOS smoothly (Well, as smoothly as it ever has).

Thanks for everything. Wonderful job.

It should work ok. Many people are using the iFlash in the various Fujitsu and other netbooks which also used the same ZIF drive as the Macbook Air.

Hello Tarkan,

is your adapter compatible with the ZIF PATA in the MacBook Air 1st Generation (MBA 1G)?

I just saw this item http://www.lexar.com/files/product/datasheet/DS_LCFxxxCRBNA1000_RevA.pdf (and heard they announced a 256 GB model…)– if iFlash would fit nicely between this CF card and an old MBA 1G, then a lot of inexpensive old crates might see their storage and battery refreshed and get a second wind. This card looks cheaper (and thinner) than many SSDs, plus PATA 1,8” ZIF HDs or SSDs are pretty rare…

What do you think?

Best regards,

DJV.

I am interested in the iFlash iPod Compact Flash adapter for my Ipod 5.5G. However I already own a Transcend 133x 32Gb CF that may or may not work “(Restore Loop problem for cards purchased since Feb 2009)”. Is it possible to use the Transcend 133x 32Gb CF?

Thanks!

Great job. Just installed a

Wintec Filemate S Professional 8Gb 400x 3FMCF8GBS-R

in my iPod 5.5g. Everything works great. Not a single problem. Watched a couple videos, listened to some songs. Loaded up Rockbox, still no problem. Boots up faster now too. I’m so excited.

Thanks for the product, video, everything.

Okay, I thought that might be the case, but I figured I would check to be sure. Once I get everything in I’ll fix it up and report back with how it goes.

Thanks for the quick response too.

I think I stated that as 6g up because all the feedback I got on that particular card has been from 6g up owners.

I don’t see why it would not work as the previous Speedy cards worked ok on the 5g and up.

Was looking into getting the A-Data Speedy 533x 32Gb, but I saw it said for 6g and up.
Would you anticipate to work fine without a restore loop on a 5.5g ipod? or is it ONLY 6g and up?

Thanks

Excellent stuff – worked straight out of the box on my 80Gb iPod Classic (broken hard disk) using these:

SanDisk Extreme IV 8Gb, and also
Kingston Ultimate 266X 32Gb

Most difficult part was getting into the iPod itself … took me ages with several different sizes of screwdriver and ultimately a small wallpaper scraper (!) which did the trick of pushing the metal locking tabs aside.

(P.S. Didn’t work with a fairly old SanDisk 512Mb CF (restore loop problem), despite trying to cajole it into the right partition/format structure from Linux – but I didn’t really expect it to ….)

Kingston Ultimate 16GB – 266x – Works great, great file transfer speed, 2x the speed of a Kingston Elite 4GB 133x

Well it seems like I found one CF that works with Ipod 5.5G and iflash. its the Wintec 32GB..

the other CF made by Transcend 133x and 400x does not work.. both were stuck in a restore loop.
