Title: Muvo Microdrive Version 2.0
Post by: Omicron on June 04, 2004, 08:20:37 am
For those of you waiting for Muvo to come back in stock, apparently (rumor is) that Creative now will only be producing the muvo Version 2 that supposedly makes so microdrive cannot be used on other cf devices.

Discussed here:

If this is true, you might want to get them on ebay before th price spikes.

But I repeat, THIS IS RUMOR.

I could easily be wrong, but I think I remember hearing that the newer ones will only act like an IDE device instead of whatever your standard camera type device is looking for.  If that\'s true, Zs shouldn\'t have any trouble using them.  Other devices and perhaps PalmOS and CE devices probably won\'t see the newer version.
