Progress Report:

Today I tested the 8G SDHC cards conversion kit on a Sandisk 8G card. I loaded 7.23 GB of audio files and played them with the built-in media player and UKMP Dark. The total available memory is 7.6 GB. The audio files so far are playing fine.
A few times before I rebooted UKMP shut down with certain songs but now all are working fine. I will test it over the next few days and see what happens.

This brings me closer to my goal of making it a more useable media player by increasing the memory capacity that can be easily installed. With two 8GB cards I can now easily carry 16GB with me.

The current conversion solution requires me to solder the cards in the conversion kit but we have also worked out a way around this. So far the only way to keep it cheap is to solder the cards which will void the warranty of the card.
Considering the great advantage this gives to the additional usefulness of the N770 I am willing to do this but I am unsure about everybody else. 8GB Micro SDHC cards are or will be soon under $70.00 each.

Another thing I am noticing since I have a N800 with 32GB that use for work is the sound on the N770 compared to the N800.
I Like the N770 better using the same pair of SENNHEISER PX100 headphones to test with.

I am working to make the Soldering version of the conversion kit available this Friday to whoever is interested.

Left to do:
1: Test on the N770 with OS2006 installed.

2: Work out the speed issue for copying files from a computer to the N770

3: Find out why a Windows XP computer mounts the card as a USB hard drive instead as a removable drive.
This bothers me because; this does not happen if the card is in a reader.
The problem with it being treated like a hard drive is Windows Monitor’s it with SYSTEM RESTORE and place a recycle bin on it if you delete anything.
