Reading down the thread they mention connecting to it over USB... the first iPods only talked Firewire didn't they? I had the 3rd gen (the odd-man-out design with the separate row of touch sensitive buttons above the wheel) and I distinctly remember the USB connection being a new and significant thing on that model.

Also, the first gen iPod didn't have encrypted firmware. It was just an unencrypted blob on the disk.
