I built everything and except for a myserious hang on boot after upgrading to MacOS 9.2 everything is working _great_. So, I decided to check out what could be done with the iPod. I have an iPod connecting to Linux as a SBP2 drive. All we need now for iPod support is working HFS+. But I don't know much about that so... I have 2 questions. 1) How are things with HFS+? I don't know much but have done some poking around. I notice that I can mount the iPod but the files it shows are not correct. But I have another HFS+ drive which seems to mount ok? I have looked at the volume info and have seen that the iPod version in the volume header is "05" and the other drive is version "06"? This seems odd since I would think the earlier version would be better supported? But I probably don't know what I am talking about... 2) Does anyone know if there are any specs on the DB file for the iPod. I could work on reverse engineering it but if I could get some specs that would be nice. Anyone have inside connections at Apple? Am I treading on thin ice with licensing?
