Im trying to set up an ipod 3rd generation to use with mac os9 but im unable to get an OSX system running ive found a firmware binary in this package here
https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/2-0-1-firmware-for-ipod-3rd-generation.282/
but i dont have a way to install it. would it be possible to use ipodpatcher to install the Firmware file inside this zip onto a 3rd generation ipod? (the one with the light up buttons between the clickwheel and display im hoping to get it set up as a macpod i have access to os9 windows 11 and linux.

Can you create a virtual machine and pass through the iPod USB device? I've restored iPods this way using a Windows XP VM and old versions of iTunes without issue.

Never tried to change the Apple firmware version, but Ipodpatcher says it can do that:
