[G4] Advice on iPod purchase

[Hal]

I've never seen an adapter like you describe (FW to USB 2.0).  
Depending on what cards are in your slots, you may have options. For  
example, if one of your cards is another ATA controller, you could  
get a multi-function ATA controller that has USB 2.0 ports on it,  
like the Tempo Trio (ATA-133, firewire and USB 2.0 ports). I picked  
one of these up cheap and it'll be my solution when I get my Digital  
Audio G4 up and running with a CPU upgrade.

Depending on what you cards are, you may be able to consolidate some  
of them onto a single card and free up a slot.

Good luck.
