Better still, the retired 5-disk autochanger CD machine is back to life now – its wonderful what three years of standing on end gathering dust will do for broken electronics, sure the DAC is still substandard and the carousel action somewhat grating but it basically works as long as you don’t touch it while its doing anything complicated.
Maybe I should try to breathe life back into the iPaq battery while I’m on a roll… (anyone know where I can get an updated WinCE rom for a 3630? Or even a Linux ROM that supports battery charging? – the current one seems not to)
