27 original firmware and then install one of the supported versions patched
28 with the Rockbox bootloader.

30 permanently remove DRM support from the player.}}

92\note{The bootloader has a built-in ``bootloader USB mode''. This function
93 switches to USB mode when the \dap{} is connected to a computer upon
94 power-up. This way you can access the \daps{} hard disk without the need
95 to boot any firmware (which is also useful when your hard disk is
96 damaged). The screen will simply display the text ``bootloader USB mode''.
97 After you disconnect the \dap{} from USB the bootloader will
98 continue booting Rockbox. As in bootloader USB mode the firmware
99 itself has not been loaded this is also a simple way of updating Rockbox.
100 After the disconnect the bootloader will load the updated version of
101 Rockbox.
