I recently salvaged a 20GB 1.8-inch toshiba hd out of a store-demo Magellan roadmate 700 gps unit.
Turns out it’s the same drive that’s used in the 20gb ipods!

Cooler still is the fact that I found a USB enclosure that supports the odd pinout of those particular drives. When it arrives i should have a nice _little_ 20GB usb hd for under 30 bucks.

While it isn’t directly connected, it was this article that came to mind when I started removing the drive from the rest of the non-working gps unit.

_fun!_

I just wish I could find a source for their cards in this area (Canada). I've heard of people saying various brands or makes don't work and, while I would love to ressurect my mini, I can't justify risking the cash.<br><br>ah well. it’s nice to hear that you are receiving some support for a pretty interesting project!

You sure changed your mind about using a 16GB chip pretty quickly.<br><br>:-) Well, actually I didn't. Imho economically at this time it makes not much sense. I do think testing out the 16gb-card is useful information for when the price of that card has dropped, which is enough reason for me doing this right now, so that the information will be available online at that point. The other cards I used so far, I bought myself, this 16gb-card is lent to me by the manufacturer for testing (they were actually quite happy with me doing this so far and we got in touch after the 4gb-card-project). So that's why I'm able to continue this project at this point. >Haha. You sure changed your mind about using a 16GB chip pretty quickly.

You sure changed your mind about using a 16GB chip pretty quickly. Good work! It's really tempting me to put down the money on an 8GB CF card for use with my dead mini. I'm just worried about a brand not working... Haha. You sure changed your mind about using a 16GB chip pretty quickly. Good work!
