We found some really interesting stings when we did a 'cat/iPod\ Updater\ 1.0/Contents/Resources/Firmware | strings | less'
stuff like:
Started CDRW Application
Reading Track x: nKB Left
Writing Track x...
NO INTERVENTION
NO MEDIA PRESENT
MEDIA NOT BLANK
ERROR WRITING TRACK
ERROR READING TRACK
ERROR CLOSING SESSION
and a few model numbers of cdrw mechanisms from Teac and Plextor. Have been trying to get iPod to recognize a drive (wrong mech., but) plugged directly with no positive results. Would appreciate any advice or help in digging deeper into the firmware, identifying if these strings are just leftover remnants or if application still present.
The iPod Updater 1.0 was pulled by Apple (hmm?) but is available elsewhere.
