New iPod. No joy. USB 2.0 on an old TiBook? Help.
EDIT and UPDATE.
OK. A little more research reveals that If you want to do use a new iPod with your TiBook, buy a Belkin PCMCIA card. It's the only one that works, apparently.
Problem solved. As far as I can tell there's not really any other surefire solution.
Oh, they'd don't sell it in the Apple Store in Regent Street in London, so you'll have to go down the TCR if you want to track one day.
Apple really pissed me off.
Today I bought a 60gb video iPod in black.
I have a TiBook without USB 2.0.
You can see where this is going.
As we all know, Apple have decided, since most iPod users have PCs, that it's to be USB 2.0 and not firewire, damn and curse them, but hey.
I bought a card, installed the driver, slotted it into the side and... nothing.
The pod shows up on the USB tree but it won't mount and it won't show up in iTunes. Unless I plug into ye olde USB port and spend three weeks updating.
It's a standard card for the PCI slot, made by a company called Newlink.
Can't use my iPod properly. Help.

Nope. Can't see if from Disk Utility.
I don't like clogging all my USB ports on my Powerbook with cables, so I like to use the firewire cable with my 4g.
I'm considering the new 5G iPod, and if I can, use the firewire cable from my old one.
Anybody try this yet?
Why would you spend money on an iPod that's worth more than your laptop? Why not save the money and get a new computer?

A new iPod is £300.
A new PowerBook is £1000.
