That PortalPlayer SOC is on many DAPs nowadays. The ST1 HDD is on the Olympus MRobe:100 (although the 100 has an IDE variant instead of microdrive).

Slashgnr, I am a proud H10 owner, and it did crash a quite a bit on the first day I got it. But when the firmware upgrade came out a week later, it worked perfectly. Also, the newest upgrade speeds up the device alot. It is the greatest micro-drive player (in my opinion).

Needs to have a Sigmatel 3600 chip in it. MP3, OGG, AAC, WMA codecs are supported right off the bat with that bad baby.

enCORe_XTG - you will have to boot the H10 as a UMS - You can find discussions on it at misticriver.net

Otherwise it is recognized as a MTP in Windows XP - which can also work the same way as drag and drop (but only in windows).
