I am searching the BBS for some of the older threads relevant to the SSD/CF discussions here.

First up, this fascinating thread from 2007, when many of us first starting replacing spinning rust with CF cards:

https://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/317823/1 "CF empeg"

And various others..

https://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/357267/1 "Player crash when uploading playlists"
https://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/250953 "Patching the Player for more dynamic FIDs"
https://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/287390/1 "Plain english description of what the "maxfid" patch does?"
https://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/248680/ "empeg file structures"
https://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/306495/ "Large harddisk upgrade, many songs, 2 questions"
https://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/306417 "250 GB Drives" and the beginnings of the bigdisk builder

EDIT: Wow, read through those threads and there's a virtual gold mine of useful info. Not to mention a reminder that I need to also incorporate the set_max_fid stuff into the new builder images along with fidsift.sh (easy, just gotta do it).
