I've read that the iPod Video 5g can only be upgraded to a 60gb harddrive at max, but the iPod Video 5.5g can take up to a 240gb drive.
Why is this? What significant hardware changes occurred between the two versions that allowed the 5.5g to read larger drives? Could the problem actually be the 5g's firmware rather than the hardware?
The reason I ask, is because I ran across an article today that talked about methods for swapping iPod firmware, and showed an old iPod Video 5g with the iPod Touch firmware installed on it...pretty sweet, if I say so myself. If the firmware is the issue, it seems it could be easily remedied with a bit of hacking.
