Robert, RockBox does not work with the current crop of Archos units, including the Gmini and all of the AV series. Unfortunately, the units that can run the RockBox firmware are no longer made, or sold in any retail establishments that I have seen so far. I even tried finding them on Amazon, and they show up as being discontinued or no longer carried. Your best bet will probably be Ebay. Below is a url to a table that shows the various units RockBox works with and their differences... http://rockbox.haxx.se/docs/devicechart.html

Subject: RE: Archos and Rock Box Hi, I am finding the different versions of Archos players and recorders a bit confusing. On the Circuit City web site, they are selling a Archos Gmini 120 20GB MP3 Jukebox. Does this one work with the Rock Box talking software? Is this different from the Archos recorder v2?
