Original Apple ipod 1st gen classic M8541 5GB - Early serial number - Production week 45, October 2001
Rare Original firmware 1.0, original splash screen, original sync symbol
Has original factory test dock as seen in last two photos, test dock was discontinued shortly after week 45.
This ipod is recognized by my 2007 Macbook using OS 10.5.4 and itunes version 7, but won't add music because it says that this song can not be played on this ipod. It likely requires earlier versions such a OS10.3.9 and itunes 7. So don't expect to plug this into a modern computer and have it be recognized.
This ipod is intended for a collector and not intended to be used as a music player.
Looks Great
New Battery, original hard drive sounds and works like new. Scanned, No errors.
Back housing looks great, some minor scratches.

Feel free to ask questions
