Does anyone know if this is a 4pin of 6pin firewire?

Are you referring to the connection on the iPod? In that case, it is 6pin.

doh, I have a 4 pin firewire. This kills it for me then.

Yes it is 6 pin cable. Very nice since it will charge the battery without the need for AC adaptor

You can just use a 4pin adapter or a 4pin firewire cable. The only feature you will lose is the ability to charge through the firewire port.

Personally I would just pickup a firewire card for your pc. I picked one up for $12.99 shipped at www.computer123.com. Its the one with the TI chipset, and charges my ipod flawlessly

Hi. Just received my order from Apple for the 5GB model.

Here's what I observed:

-case is brand new
-cables, charger, ear phones are brand neew
-packaging is brand new, box was sealed

This is a great deal.

Can anyone post me a link to a cheap firewire card for my PC?

deal's dead, only have 20gig for 299 now

 

[AgentUnknown]

The 5GB model includes a 4 pin to 6 pin adapter. So either way, u are set. Hope everyone got a chance to jump in on this deal.

This is one sweet deal, thx.

Their all out of the 5gb models and only the 20 gig is left. Pretty sweet deal that I should have gotten in on earlier. Dang indecisions!

now to find a deal on a firewire card.

Go find one of those Sound Blaster Audigy's on clearance @ OD....they have a FW port on them. Supposively clearing them out for $25.

The Audigy SB's are awful with iPods. Do not use the Audigy.

Adaptec 4300
OrangeLink
seem to be the better choices.

i use the audigy 2 firewire port w/ my 5gb ipod and it works perfectly.
