OK so I tried this out, it was very easy to put on the iPod, literally run 
the .exe, choose the mp3 player and click install.  After a few minutes it 
was done and my iPod was alive again!

Only problem I noticed is that pressing "skip next" sometimes takes 2 or 3 
seconds to skip to the next track (I'm sure it was almost instant on the 
original firmware) - that's a bit annoying but maybe there are some settings 
to tweak...
