What version/Manual should i use for Ipod Classic 5th Generation

[tieflyer]

I see 4th generation and 6th generation, but will this work with 5th generation Ipod classic?  Wanted to buy one and then put in ssd mods but if this will not work then I need to rethink my options.

I use the current dev build versions of Rockbox in 4th - 7th Gen Classics and it works great for me in all of them.  I love it.

There is no 5th gen Classic. Classic is the (original) naming for 6G and later. However, these days people seem to mix up things and label all kinds of things as "Classic". Ipod 5G = Ipod Video.

Yes - I (and others) use 'Classic' to distinguish the larger click wheel iPods from the multi Gen nano and Touch models.  But technically (and correctly, I suppose), the 5th Gen is the "iPod with Video" (even though it is not the only model that can display videos).

My understanding is that as far as installing and using Rockbox is concerned, the 5th Gen with Video 30 and 60GB models, and the 5th Gen Enhanced 30 and 80GB models are all the same.

Go there, look up which ipod model you have and then select that model from our download list.

Yes, although 30GB versions had 32MB of Ram, and the rest had 64MB, from what i recall, but it doesn't matter. Rockbox has an autodetection of that, iirc.
