[Cube] Cube/iPod 4th Gen HELP!

[Luis Meleiro]

Andrew: Thanks for your input.

FW drive mode is enabled under OS X, and the iPod's icon appears on the X desktop (as iTunes opens up too). My problem is under OS 9, as I was told that iTunes would not recognize the 4G iPod, nevertheless I would be able to use it as an external hdd. I need to transfer huge files from my work PowerMac G3/266MHz (beige with FW and USB PCI cards) to my Cube and the iPod is not showing up in my G3 running OS 9.2.2.

can you mount the iPod w/o going through itunes?  itunes in os9 doesn't recognize the new iPods.  what if you enable firewire drive mode in itunes osX. does that carry through in 9?

Unfortunately, when in Mac OS 9.2.2, iTunes v2.0.4 doesn't even know anymore what an iPod is. This is not a problem, but I really want/need to use it as an external hdd.
