Hi EFN,

While I haven't tried it, I am fairly confident that the 160GB drive will fit in the 5.5G, 80GB iPod. They use the same ZIF connector at least
I'm not sure if having an extra 80GB will cause a problem for the 5.5G... hopefully not. The 6G I have here is only an 80GB, so I can't test this.

Regarding the battery, I *think* they are the same model... the 6G gets better life because its design is more power efficient.

Viinie, yet again you have been a great help to the community. Please accept our thanks for your R&D.
Thanks, and you all are very welcome... you've guys have been very good to me and there are a lot of loyal iMod customers here. The least I can do is let you know my findings, and to let you know upfront that there is no point in modding the 6G. Different animal...

Thanks again,

Vinnie
