[G4] The new iPods.

[daveg65 at comcast.net]

If you install a USB 2.0 PCI card in your G4 the iPod should work fine. I
installed one since I wanted USB 2.0 in my machine and I have been using it
without issues for a while.

Despite what the specs may or may not say (I haven't looked at them),
I would think you could use the new iPods with USB 1.1.  It'll just be
slower than molasses.

That is a shame about the lack of a FireWire option, though.
