I've actually already done this - this was my first test to make sure I could just connect. I mounted the RS-MMC card fine and could read the contents.

It's just when I run the flasher then turn on the 770 that I have first the timeout, then the blue screen. It's probably equally something to do with the fact I am using RHEL AS 4 which isn't even supported in Workstation 5 (I don't think). Was going to try at a LiveCD next but your encouragement has worked and I'll keep hammering away at VMWare.

Great idea about the player btw... The Maemo LiveCD is an obvious thing to try first, but does this have the flasher on it as part of scratchbox etc?
