hello replacement iPod #2

Here's a reply to my post about a firewire card issue at the Apple site:

It certainly appears so. Yours is not the first post which suggests it.

I would feel a lot more comfortable about saying it wouldn't harm your 'pod if you told me you were using a Belkin, as they seem to have specialized in making sure their cards work with the iPod.

So, buy a Belkin firewire card or own a Mac if you plan on purchasing an iPod.
