I just got one of those VST Cards and, and after the yellow wire clip, it is up and running. Thanks for the tip! I was wondering how one might sync with an iPod with this set-up. I think we had a discussion about this in the past. Also can one do a target disc with another firewire mac? The cord offers no power to the iPod, which I think is the largest issue. Any help would be appreciated. Sure hope I passed all the pet-peeve grammarians out there : ) Jerry
