bing!

I'd prefer to see a big bold warning at the top of that entry, saying that while the information applies to all software versions between 1.00 and 2.00 inclusive, it will become incorrect after that (I realise that the text says that further in as well).

Another thing to bear in mind, is that none of the player software was written in the expectation that third-parties would be writing to that partition, and so if anyone does feel like writing a tool that accesses it directly and not via lib/protocol, they should keep a clean backup of the whole partition somewhere ready to dd it back again if their changes make the player crash.

People wishing to back up their EQ and tuner settings should back up the 32 sectors starting at sector 2,048. The format of these blocks has changed several times since 1.0.

While we're on, the other entry on that riocar.org page is slightly misinformed: the swap partition can't be used for anything other than a swap partition, or synchronising will fail.
