Ain’t Gonna Help You None

My previously mentioned 4th Gen iPod Photo (henceforth referred to as grossPod) has a dying HDD.  I went ahead and ordered some parts to FlashMod it, and get it running for decades more to come.

This required a series of adapters to replace the HDD with a MicroSD card:

 

 

 

 

 

We needed a cable to go from the IDE interface to something the board could handle, the board itself then a CF to SD card adapter.  I also added a SD to MicroSD adapter, because I had a 128GB MicroSD card for this project.

I now have (yet another) 128gb iPod for the collection.  Hooray!
