Wow! That's an extremely rare device! I've never seen one!
fennectech:
i found the 5.5g in a pawn shop not knowing what it was i bought it finding it didnt support rockbox natively i had to use a custom bootloader (emcore if i remember properly) unfortunately the device died to a magnet being set ontop of it currently have a ipod classic 5g on order (if nobody outbids me on ebay lol)

I suspect you mean the iPod 6/7G.
As you can see on the main page the 5.5G is supported, and has been for a very long time.
On a side note: That must have been a very powerful magnet, like...somewhere in the order of several lbs of rare earth magnet. Contrary to popular belief its actually fairly difficult to do any meaningful damage to the device with magnetism alone, and virtually impossible to do any lasting physical damage in this fashion. If this was the case, you'll almost certainly find the hardware to be completely recoverable.
