Laurie, I'll post results for sure. The article says it will work under FireWire (when applyin' the update using a USB cable provided by the 4G iPod). I don't have USB2 but I do have a PCI/FireWire card in this 233MHz ol' box. LM >>> laurie at cubeowner.com - 2004/10/27 14:35 PM >>> It's worth a try. Let us know how it turns out. I have no use for OS 9 anymore so have never had occasion to connect any of my iPods to an OS 9 box. Still, transferring large files over USB is not going to be pleasant unless you have a USB 2.0 card in that Mac. Laurie -- Founder, Editor, FAQ-checker http://cubeowner.com Home of The Mac Cube FAQ!
