I'm looking to buy my first iPod and I need firewire so it's a 4th
Generation iPod Colour (Photo) 60 gig that I'm after.
Thinking about getting an iPod to run with a Cube so the Firewire
thing is an issue for me too. But found this, does any list member
have experience of it? If it works reasonably speedy it would open us
non-USB 2 users to Video iPods and Nanos.

I'm afraid that won't help, since the 5th gen 'pods (and the nanos)
don't physically have a Firewire controller in them. They actually fit
and charge just fine in a 4th Gen's Firewire dock, they just won't talk
to anything in it, so 3rd party docks won't help either (nobody makes
USB2 > Firewire Bridge chips, though I've no idea why...)
