Using an iPod with a Wallstreet Powerbook
Authored by: uhduh on Mar 20, '03 10:30:51AM

Another option is to buy a firewire card with two ports. Plug the iPod power adapter into the wall and the first port and then plug the iPod into the second port with an extra Firewire cable. This will provide the power to firewire ports and the iPod allowing you to use it with any Pre-Firewire laptop with a PCIMA card. It will also save you money because you will only need to purchase a second firewire cable instead of an expensive Firewire Hard Drive.

Enjoy

special mode?
Authored by: jlbibc on Mar 26, '03 05:10:00PM

what is this special mode to which the original poster referred?

my sister uses my old lombard with a firewire card, but we can't get the iPod to kick in. when its connected, the firewire icon appears on the iPod, but nothing else happens. we are using a cardbus compatible firewire card to which we can plug in an external power supply.

could this special mode bootup be what is necessary? how does this work?

thanks in advance,
jlbibc
