Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Well, not Firewire in the sense of those old one, but they kept changing the design of the firewire port which is really annoying.

End up needing an USB > Firewire convertor so I can sync my iPod (it's that old).

there are only 3 different configurations as far as I'm aware, 4 pin and 6 pin firewire 400, and 9 pin firewire 800. surely your ipod would have been the 6 pin as the 4 pin doesn't provide any power?
6 pin to 9 pin cables are cheap and readily available..

I still think firewire makes much more sense than usb for high bandwidth situations.
