iPod first generation install?

@bidmead:
If you boot into the Apple firmware (reboot Rockbox by holding PLAY, and then turning Hold ON while it's shutting down), then go to Settings>About, it should list a 'Version', which on an up-to-date 2G is 1.5.
I'm wondering if your iPod is a VERY early 1G, which pre-dates the use of the 'revision' field. Also wondering if you've ever updated the Apple firmware ... if not maybe you could try that?
(You could wait a few hours to see if anyone provides feedback here that my suggestions are pointless ;) )

@bidmead: It would be better to not update your Apple firmware - so we fix the bugs that prevent Rockbox working on the version currently installed... (if you have the patience to wait).
bidmead:
@yapper@linuxstb: AFAIK the firmware on my iPod is as up to date as Apple allows 1Gs to be. And, yes, it is probably a very early 1G, direct from the US shortly after the launch.
In no particular hurry about this personally, but keen to get stuck into testing asap on behalf of the RB project.

Sorry I didn't read through all of the posts in this thread, but it seems that the iPod 1st Gen needs its VID and PID #'s at this page > http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DeviceDetection
So whoever owns the 1st gen iPod (or any other device there, for that matter) should post the info there.

Here's some excellent news:
Yapper here has PM'd me a .rockbox that sets scrollwheel enable based on the version number NOT returning 2, rather than the time-honoured method of expecting that function to return 1 (which, as we've discovered here, it doesn't necessarily do).
The good news is that this version WORKS. I now have RB running on my 1G and should now be able to comment usefully on the code in general, rather than getting bogged down in installation issues.
Yapper says the amendment doesn't affect operation on his 2G. I'm wondering, of course, what happens on >2G machines -- do they try to switch on the scrollwheel with this version, or is there with these later generations a more sophisticated way of identifying the hardware. If so, then it would seem we're close to a version that could become an official release.
