I have an iAudio5 which to all purposes is the same as the G3 except
for using a AAA battery.  This works fine on Breezy and mounts
automatically as /dev/sda1 .



The only issue is that I still need windows to perform firmware updates
or reformat the drive (as using *mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sda1* seems to cause
the player to not start successfully.
