I don't have an iPod but I'd have to say for those users, this is pretty f'd up. <br><br>Too many lives they've spent across the ocean. Too much money been spent upon the moon.

You have to go back pretty far to find Firewire-only iPods. Those clinging to pre-dock-connector iPods would be better served by the new $999 iBook config (now with SuperDrive). Still white, but that also means still having Firewire.<br><br>I haven't used FW400 in years. I used to use FW800 for backups, but mainly I do that wirelessly now. FW is not dead, but nor is it widely necessary to low/mid-range laptop consumers. <br><br>nagr[color:red]o</font color=red>mme<br><br>I require stroyent!<br>TeamMacOSX.com | MacClan.net

I have yet to use FW800. I take it target disk mode will work with FW800. <br><br>Too many lives they've spent across the ocean. Too much money been spent upon the moon.

Yes, target mode works with FW800--or with an adapter that makes 800 into 400.<br><br>nagr[color:red]o</font color=red>mme<br><br>I require stroyent!<br>TeamMacOSX.com | MacClan.net
