Cool but what advantage do I get for my 200 bucks (including shipping)


I plan to build/release a full replacement Linux distro for the player, to serve as the basis for future Hijack style enhancements, many of which will then become doable in userspace.

This will result in a larger in-memory footprint for the C-Library, since the player s/w will still need it's original glibc, whereas I hope to use something more modern for everything else.

This new distro will be targeting players with 32MB or more. I plan to upgrade all of my own players to 32MB, using the simple/cheap stacked-chips method. People with the full 64MB will gain performance from 3rd party apps, and more spin-down time during playback.

Cheers!
